FYI - the fittings on the rack are M16x1.50 and M18x1.50 All the popular fitting manufacturers (earls, aeroquip, etc.) make metric to AN adapters, which SHOULD work. Aeroquip even makes one with an O-ring seal -- which looks like the best bet to make sure it doesn't leak.

They said by putting a solid brace on that it wouldn't let the headers expand there for increasing the chance of cracking. I don't know what will work best that's why I am asking.

Typical for this kit. Mine fit fine with the t-67 and later with the t-76. recently had the turbo refreshed and it came back with a bigger compressor housing, notching the framerail did the trick.

Tiffany, you running poly motor mounts?

FYI, with stock motor mounts you will need a lot of clearancing. With the poly motor mounts you will still need some significant clearancing. My YSi is right down there too and we did more clearancing than we anticipated. The blower torqued up enough to brake the oil feed fitting
