Hey everybody it has been a while thought I would make some changes this winter, I decided to move the turbo's up and go to tubular style headers.I think it was running a little hot with the turbos down against the engine so I'll see how this works out the car drives very nice for using race style suspension on the street still lots of tuning left to do

Did you ever have problems with oiling when the turbo's were mounted low? Sweet setup, hopefully it hooks well!

that was partly the reason I decided to move the turbos up there would be a slight film of oil in the compressors over time so was thinking about one more stage on the oil pump to evac the turbo's but this is less plumbing plus I think it may be cooler ,it does hook very well but also has traction control I still have not set that up Alex
