Default What k member are you running and why (turbo or regular)?

I just popped my motor and I am temporarily fixing my motor for right now to ride around on until I get my turbo motor done. While my motor is out I want to go ahead and change my k-member. I don't know which one to put on my car, regular or turbo k-member. So this is why I posted here to find out what everybody is running so I can find out which one will fit my set-up the best.

usually people run the BMR turbo K because it gives much more space for down pipe fitment/size near the wheels

I would say if your running a turbo with any size to the DP go with the turbo K.

I bought an unused OFI hotside with a 4 inch downpipe so I am making sure whatever k member I buy this downpipe will still fit

Well I guess I'm going to go pull some of this money out of my mattress and buy the BMR Turbo k member. That pic gives a real good view of how open the BMR is.
