I see t bolt clamps in your future...
I have a very similar mid mount setup. I had troubles getting oil in the charge pipe from the turbos. I thought the seals went out but after they rebuilt and inspected them, the turbo seals were fine. The turbos weren't getting enough airflow and was pulling oil through the seals. It was trying to pull air from anywhere it could. I didn't notice the problem until I started leaning on it which demanded more airflow. I changed my filter setup to grab some air from the bottom. You might be looking at some type of scoop to direct air to the turbos.

Yup on a dyno pull I noticed that once off loaded it will smoke for a sec and go back to normal. When I get some time I am going to put them under the head lights. Some people say I will loose boost being that the air would have to travel farther but car will make 17psi in 96 degrees and at night 70 degree I get almost 20psi so I think I will be good.
