The turbo looks like it will package quite nicely in place of the cat in the tight modern car engine bay.
We eyeballed a few things and everyone agreed that this would be the most satisfactory solution.
We had our friend Zachary Mallin of ZSM Customs modify our turbo to take a V-Band clamp so our turbo could be mounted closely to the engine to reduce the volume as much as possible.
Zach used sections of 304 Stainless tubing to position the turbo exactly for the best fit. We had an engine on a stand and also a Sentra in our garage so we could ensure a nice tight fit with no interference to any of the car’s engine bay parts.

So cool to see modern tech being utilized for performance, not emissions/mpg/etc.
Looks like the build got noticed over on Jalopnik, though they gave MotoIQ zero credit:

Par for the course for us!
Motortrend did mention MotoIQ in their article: https://www.motortrend.com/events/nissan-sentra-det-concept-turbo-engine-sema-2023/
