i couldn't fit the unit where yours is either. the 968 intake manifold is shaped very differently, and that space is filled.

it's hard to see from the pic, one thing i may see as a problem in your setup though is the reservoir height relative the head unit. rotrex is very clear about the reservoir outlet needing to be BELOW the head unit inlet. failure to do that results in front seal leaks. it looks like you are above that. is it just the pic?

we should probably hook up at some point.
bob,
have you seen the nissan alternator mod? the alternator from a nissan quest van more or less bolts on (some people needed to grind the bracket a little under the alternator to clear a screw) and its rated 130 amps, and is significantly smaller/lighter than the 944/968 beast.
