looks good to me, try making a bracket and mounting/welding it to the firewall for your mounting/pivot point.  It can be centrally located between the pump and turbo that way and length of the rods can be equal leading to overall longevity and reliability.  Perhaps even the boost can can be mounted here to to aid in stability.

you know, decarbonated beer is a better coolant than the stuff you buy at the auto store, and is better for you...... really

I wouldn't try that without solid motor mounts. Firewall won't move with the engine.

I plan to use solid mounts in my build, by-the-by where can I find a how to on that? vortex?  Remember, this is going into my 01' MR2 Spyder ;)  I plan to cut a hide-a-hole in the firewall in the cabin to make fuel adjustments, my setup will be unique for sure. 8)
