Well the fuel tank is on the other side of the boot, but as long as you've checked under the car to see if there are any other wires or fuel lines, etc running along there. I don't think there is.
My suggestion for a bracket would perhaps be to get a battery box from any auto store for about $20 and put a few screws through that, into the floor then slap your battery in. |

I hope this battery will be in a box thats sealed, as I beleive in most state, if not all, car batteries are not allowed in the boot, cabin etc etc.

it will be vented to outside to release the gases even tho its a sealed battery

Good to hear that your doing it right, unlike most, who just run some wires, clamp it down and away they go lol.
But i do have to ask, why are you moving the battery to the boot? What gain will this provide in the engine bay?

But yes it's generally turbo related, more real estate to run intercooler pipes and saves the battery from being exposed to hotter than normal engine temperatures. |

um well considering that my intercooler piping is running right where the battery was theres no way i could leave it there ,yes its for a turbo ,both the intercooler piping and intake /pod for the turbo will be where the battery is .
