Can't you put a "dent" into the area of the crossover pipe that's a problem?

This is somewhat of a joke... but, its not as big of a deal as you are making, just bend the lines out of hte way, I had to on my kit. Your car was never designed to have a big ole turbo and a bunch of exhaust pipes under the hood. lol

You're putting a TURBO KIT into the engine bay that's barely large enough for the motor itself. You should pretty much expect having to tweak things here and there. This isn't like installing a Tornado in your intake tube, this is a real modification 
You'll be perfectly fine, those lines bend relatively easy. Just don't bend them back and forth over and over again too many times or you'll run into some issues. They really are made of that material to be able to flex SOME. Other than that it looks good! Let us know how it works out!
