    Are you running a efi 5L? If so im told you use a VK V8 aircond bracket and it fits. I haven't tried it as yet.... But do have one. This post has got me more keen to try it now! As im about to rip out a redo my interior anyway!

    Also where did you buy it. I see there is a few sellers in aus. Which kit did you buy? Or do they do a custom kit for Q-B?

    Yes Jason there's an efi engine in it , Ido have a full set up off a vk compressor and alt on drivers side also have the power steer pump but not sure yet . Also can cut off and reweld throttle body on more of an angle but not real keen on that , but it has been done by someone on here( sorry can't recall who). I think the kit is everything included but the gas , so that's where the cost is , I was looking at just the unit and control there is a few different sizes and the new ones are all electronic servos ,which I've seen for between $800 & $1000 use my ac brackets and own hoses condenser and r/drier.
