Awesome project! Looks like it will have ridiculous power.

I've never seen that downpipe mount on the hotside of the turbo. Admittedly i don't know everything i could about turbos, is that a brand specific thing or....?

Looks like a tight fit for those down pipes.

I could of went with 2-1/2" down pipes but I decide to go with 3" downpipes and yes its a tight fit. Might have go back and grind the frame to give little more room. Go big or go home.
