Yeah, I had to crawl my ass back there to open the trunk once when the battery was disconnected. Now I am real careful about not closing the trunk with the battery unplugged because that was a real pain in the ass

Good thing my battery is still under the hood...or else I'd be screwed
Incidentally, my 51R Optima Yellow died 2 weeks ago(10 months old). The car wouldn't start, but I still had juice for all the locks/trunk, radio, and interior lights.

Exactly...you have to either build a bracket to mount the turbo to the engine, or hope like hell that the pipes can support the turbo...as far as grounding the battery, I just drilled a hole in my trunk and connected the ground to the chassis. The kit from summit is what I used, and it comes with a self drilling bolt...big ass thing makes a great ground. As far as running the power, just run it the same way you would run the power to an amp. I actually just used the amp power cable from the starter to the battery. (It was already huge wire)
