OK wow it actually mounts to the transmission on the vortec. Thats too bad considering the numbers the vortec puts out. Thanks for explaining it to me

Because the ATX doesn't like lots of torque, a SC is the safest.
With proper turbo sizing, or with the aid of a boost controller, a turbo can be used sucessfully with an ATX. The main problem is that most of the turbos chosen for the Zetec build full boost by 2k rpms. With that kind of torque spike, the ATX will blow up pretty quick.

there comes a point where if your getting so seriously into it with seriously considering a turbo - where you should consider selling up if you've got a ATX car and buy a MTX. even if you've already done alot of mods, most can be removed fairly easily and transferred to the manual car. would work out alot easier than a ATX to MTX conversion.
back on topic - the JRSC is now all getting swapped over from the dummy engine onto my real engine. turns out i didnt need any engine mount mods, and he put a 5mm spacer between the S/C and inlet manifold to overcome the alternator problem. this means i keep the original alterator. its turned out alot more simpler than i expected but because of the research that he's put in it'll cost me a bit extra - me being the guinea pig lol! i'll make sure all the details of the conversion gets put on all the main zetec websites (and my own website which is well up the google ratings) to save any future people wanting to do this conversion the hassle of researching it. also i'll get it in fast ford mag for more publicity.

The exact reason I went with the JRSC. My boost is regulated by a pulley.
