well its a rear mount so you can afford to have a small exhuast housing. what AR is the turbine housing on the turbo? are you replacing the oil pump that comes with the STS kit? if not your will have a very serious problem later on. they are prone to failing. You should sell that MP-T70 and get JAX04's Turbonetics turbo. he made great numbers on his rear mount 6.0 car with it and it is a great price!
