for those that have the sts kit. how does the turbo mount? oil pump issues? Just looking all over the net and i can see that the turbo sits tight up there but i see no mounting point between the body and turbo flange.
is it only held by exhaust hangers?
second question is scavenger pump. anyone run any issues with them being up and over the rear end?
or is there a suctioning effect?

The turbo is held on by the exhaust where your pipe with the flange connects to your factory pipe that runes over the rear axel. There is enough strength in those hangers in that side of the car to hold up the turbo. I do extra and run a brace but I also can weld so I had that convience. But if you are running a st turbo you will have no issues.
The pump doesn't need to sit lower it will pull from pretty much where ever u have it. Mine is a turbowerx, make sure you go nice. I bought cheaper pumps and burned though then in a week each... hot oil is hard on them
