Default Best K member for clearance?

Ok, here it goes, I have a GT4202 Turbo with a T6 frame I am installing on my 95. It has a 5" down pipe and I needed to figure out what K member would fit it? I plan on routing it on the drivers side. I am currently looking at the UMI Road Race and the BMR turbo, also what mounts would I need installed if I wanted a BMR? So, any help on how large of pipes people have fitted before? Pictures, are good too. I am also open to doing a split to 3.5" or even a split 3.5" oval. So, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Not trying to hijack but this is along the same lines, I just looked at the turbo K members and they have one with motor mounts and one without. On the one without motormounts how do you mount the motor to the k member? Am I missing something?

With out motor mounts would require motor plates.

The BMR Turbo K-member would have more clearance than ours. We do run turbo set ups with our K-member but I can't guarantee yours would clear.

I hope that helps,
Ryan
