now you cant tell me that when you dont change the oil its not going to get messy.
when you unplug the drain, the oil will spew right on that hot downpipe.
it looks like you can get to it easy enough, but the fluid flow will hit that downpipe.

The car is still stock, besides springs. It only has 5500 miles on it. I wanted to get some numbers on the stock motor. After that i am going to do some custom manifolds and 6liter heads and check the numbers on that. Eventually i am going to pull the engine and do a full build. With the turbo setup i have now, it is good for 1100-1200hp. I am hoping for somewhere around 650 on the stock block.

I'm a noob to turbos but i think i have a cool idea
what would happen if you were to replace the criss cross with an X? Would it help the ground clearence issue? or would there be some weird prob with it killing power? Cause wouldnt it create a vacum behind the slow turbo(if such a thing exsists) there by raising the efficency of the turbo due to it drawing out the exhaust? I know this sounds kinda weird but im just thinking outside o the box.

I havent decided on the intercooler yet but i have been leaning toward air to water. I installed a BMR k-member to free up some room for the piping. The pipes right now sit about 1" lower than where the factory k-member was. Let me know what you think.

Your going to have to go oval on thoes pipes, Im 1" slp factory lowered and my Incon kit sometimes scrapes the ground. Its about 1 mile higher than those.
On my 427rsz I put oval's for ground clearance, A 3 1/2" pipe dia is only 2 1/4 at the oval. Something to think about after a few scrapes down the road.
