its not the filter but the cooling tubes that are in the pan that stop you from going deeper. i talk to Mr rossler about this and he doesnt like these pans at all.

oh i see. but, the fluid level should stay the same level from the filter, just a deeper reservoir holding it i would think. sorry, don't wanna mess up your thread.

What made you go with truck manifolds over Stainless Works turbo down/forward headers? Very curious.

Also why did you move from twins to a single? I'm stuck right now between a GT-55 or twin TC76/78s.
Keep up the good work, I stop in this thread everyday.

Twins proved to be to big of a pain in the *** for what their worth. A good single front mount will do what he wants with a lot less head aches.

The whole idea behind this build is to keep things simple. Less BS the better. As much as I like to work on turbo cars I prefer to drive mine. I bet my car will also be 100lbs light er after this build. I have removed allot of stuff and the twins were heavy right around 160lbs when I shipped it out.

The reason for not using turbo headers was do to plug access. I don't want to fight anything on this car.unlike the twins if you had to work on or inspect anything it had to go on the hoist. That even gets old
