I'd be interested in seeing the triangulation options/pictures, has anyone done this? This might be something I should also consider.

Saab 4-pot turbo. It's a very tall engine, and it has a big clutch for all the torque (260ft/lb as standard and 400ft/lb with a minor retune) so it needs a big bellhousing - the gearbox is a frankenstein's monster of Saab and BMW box welded together.
