Here is a link to the rx7 v mount.

Scott, I bought this IC from Treadstone (<$500):

It's made for a V8 car. Sorry the IC you bought from me didn't work out for you. I was going for bigger power, so I thought I needed a much bigger IC (higher flowing CFM). Honestly, I didn't pick up much power as far as I could tell from my butt dyno, and the turbo was laggier due to the increased volume of going from 2.5" ducting and IC to 3".

Point is, the IC I sold you was adequate for my estimated 600+hp.

Anyways, I had to cut off both inlet and outlet pipes and move to different locations. I also added bosses to mount it flat instead of vertical like a V8 car has it. It was a decent amount of work to make happen, but I am totally happy I'll never have to buy another IC again as it's good to 1300hp I think.
