need to do a bit of massaging with the BFH to get it 100% where i want.
Also going to have a HELL of a time with the DP, going to have to make an awkward as hell bend to miss the radiator (until i do some massaging, then i might be able to do it fine)
Also, the hotside...passenger side header is going to come straight forward. Driver side will go down, come across and then up and into it.
I mocked it up sorta-ish with aluminum piping (driverside anyways).
Also got my cold side 100% complete from turbo, to IC, to intake manifold.
Things are starting to come together, just need to get some header flanges, piping, and collectors.

i dont know your whole setup, but u might be able to use a corvette accessory brack to move ur alternator to the otherside so you dont have to fab any mounts. just a thought

i run alternator only :)
My MAIN problem will be fitting a 5" downpipe. going to eventually snake it down into 4" ovalized and dump it at the door.
not to knock your setup, but that looks horribly complicated. The location almost seems like it would be a nightmare.
I do wish you had a better photo though. Either way it looks more complete than mine as I wait on half my parts to get back from machine work :p

haha, it wont be near as complicated as it seems.
imagine an ssac "twin turbo" header on the passenger side. it'd basically bolt up to the turbo (well, pretty close). the driver sdie header will come forward and down, come across the bottom, then up and merge with the passenger side header into the turbo.
my main problem right now will be the oil drain, since my drain is tapped on the other side of the pan. I will probably just run an oil pump and make ita little easier on myself, or...god forbid....play around more and get it to fit between the waterpump and stuff, but that just clutters the engine bay more

mine is either going to
a) dump by the front driver tire
b) turn into ovalized piping and go through the tubular K-member
c) turn into 2 3" pipes and one through passenger side, one through driverside.
