Holy mother....
First off, isn't that a bit far for exhaust to travel prior to hitting the turbo? Maybe it's just the pictures.
The exhaust exit from that turbo is amazing. It's going to be insane.....

Im guessing the oil filter is going to be relocated due to space and heat?

Yes sir. Probably relocate it to the bulkhead on the passenger side, and add an Accusump at the same time.

It shouldn't be too bad and in reality, it's not much further than the aftermarket Subie equal length headers once you factor in the up-pipe. Plus, that's where Porsche put the turbos in the 917/30. There's really no other place within the chassis to put it and keep the heat away from plastic, rubber or fluid lines.

kcpaz; it looks like a wild and well planned system..!
Are you planning to get some insulation (or heat shield) between the tubes and gearbox to help keeping the heat away?

I can't wait to see/hear this thing. Nice knowing that there may be another option for a swap

Very nice swap you are doing! What made you decide on doing the twin wastegate setup? And did you go with the gt30r to try and make more power down low as opposed to say a gt35r? Either way, excellent swap and the fabrication looks awesome.

There are two wastegates because the turbo has a twin scroll housing. I went with the 30R and the twin scroll design to reduce lag, and because my goal is not to make 450-500hp. The plan is to make a reliable track car, not a drag car.

I really like what he has done!!! I still deal with the BS of people ********************ing about advertising.. I guess those people don't have a Television and don't notice that EVERYTHING is an advertisement for something. Welcome to the 21st century.
The Boxster/ Suby conversion makes lots of sense to me... Even though I am no fan of the German car with a Japanses engine, the suby engine is a real powerhouse.
Done right this conversion could be the key for those who want big power and aren't worried about keeping the car Porsche powered.

Looks like a Mohawk.
I would have put something like a whale tail.
But i guess a roof scoop will be more efficient.

I agree, it's always fun to have options out there! I love my Boxster, and having the potential for both a Suby engine or Corvette LS engine is great!
Heck in my old VW days I still remember one of the coolest swaps I'd ever seen was a Cadillac 32v Northstar V8 shoe horned into an early 90's MKII Golf. Nowadays the diesel TDI engine is finding it's way into many applications, including Jeep YJ's.
Excitement through experimentation leading to application!
