There really isn't much room. with the 3" downpipe it is close to the frame as it is. If you get a larger turbo and try to angle it, its going to cause more problems than what its worth. I suppose you could do away with the downpipe routing all together and flip the turbo the other way and drop down a larger downpipe. The problem then would be the filter for the turbo, you'd have to most likely just run a screen.

My new car has as handbuilt kit similar to this one. I like how the crossover and downpipe is run on this one. My crossover is in a similar location, but I may move it forward a bit to closer resemble this one, and I really like how the downpipe breaks into 2 pipes for ground clearance, right now mine is a 3" pipe there and it hits over speed bumps all the time, I may opt for the two 2.5" or 2" pipes there as well. Looks like a solid setup, good luck with it!

I forgot the size, but I went with the size Forced Inductions recommended, which flowed quite a bit of oil... It would immediately spill into the exhaust housing and create a smoke show...

I didn't want to add more restrictor, so I ran a scavenger pump to pull the oil...

This was the case with both a T-70 and the T-76GTQ I run now...

Turbo sits very close to the level of the oil pan with this kit, IMO.

As long as your turbo is getting the right amount, it's all good.

The adapter to my oil feed had a restrictor made into it, so I really don't know the size of the feed. I can say this, it doesn't smoke. My drain is just above the oil fill line so there is about a 2" drop

I have been looking at this kit for a little while now, but I thought there was a twin turbo setup as well. Did this guy make a TT setup or was I hallucination?

Also those who have installed this setup, what issues if any came up in the build?

well i have version 2 ebay kit with a T76 and the downpipe doesnt fit. so i have to make a custom one, im going to leave it dumped for a while, but the flip the turbo like camarod said and run a Dp over to the other side for more room, otherwise, the pass manifold hits the bellhousing, and the O2 sensor wont fit in the passenger manifold. i had to welda bung a few inches lower in the crossover pipe. you will need to drill out the front manifold bolt hole on the drivers side. you will also need to cut off the wastegate recirculation tube, weld it shut, and dump the wastegate to the atmosphere. lol thats it with any weird fitment stuff pshhh sounds like a ton now that i typed it out but its not that bad.........

It does look like a nice mild street car setup. The price isn't too bad. I could see it running for around a little less than $3k if you shopped around.
