I think I will probably take it. Would like some pics if possible, when you have time of everything. Do you have down pipes too? Lemme know,..if everything looks good, I can do it whenever your ready.
Thanks for the offer.

With any luck, the stock hood wont clear the turbos and he'll have to come up with a creative fix....
