perfect size = sidemount... no cutting no nothing. just leave his ---- stock if he's such a baby to cut.

take out your bumper and take some measurement.

run the pipes under the front bumper and put the ic in front of the bumper then post his adress

Every DSM fmic kit for 1g's I've ever seen, involves some sort of trimming, whether it be the front bumper, or enlarging a few holes next to the radiator. Sometimes modding a car does require some "modifying" of things, sometimes for fitment.

Little trimming of small things of some bumper trimmage wont hurt nothing, hell be cool with that

But hacking his entire front support like i did he wont do for sure

There has to be some dsm guys on here who would know or could post a link,

Thanks

home made turbos dont come from the factorey

This is where common sense comes into play. You cut up yours so get a smaller one.

Are you saying that DSM's can't be considered Homemade setups on this site because they came stock with a turbo?
I built my turbo back exhaust, my inlet piping, bought a universal fit fmic and built all the ic piping, made my own 1G bov flange with a bandsaw and a sander, crushed the stock bov, using a different exhaust manifold, different turbo... That's not home made enough for you simply because my car came turboed? Sounds very similar to what others do on this site to their cars, just a bit of a different platform.

Here's a DSM shop outta the midwest. Their on our local forum, and are decent guys.
That fmic kit they have will still have some trimming of the bumper allowed, and some enlarging of some holes next to the radiator. There may be some magic 1g kit I don't know of that involves zero hacking, but 99% of the 1g kits look similar to this one, and require similar trimming. Good luck with it.

but turbo eclipses do... all he wants to do is fab up a front mount design...
