on my old set up we torced part of the subframe to make a small hole, then we simply ran a u bend. Putting my flame suit on because someone might bitch about safety

you can cut a hole and have it boxed in for structual integrity.

Posting pictures of your turbo/mani setup would help alot.You can run it through the windshield washer fluid hole,backdoor intercooler etc.Post some pics and maybe we can help

theres 4 ways that i know of for the DA

1 run both pipes into the passanger side hole next to the battery (long pipes, sloow spool, bad idea)

2 run the pipe into the wiper bottle (most common)

3 cut a hole into the driver side frame nest to the two hook

4 cut a hole into the radiator support next to the radiator on the driver side (very short ic piping)

i did #4

most setups you will need to get an after market crossmember. i'm running the fullrace one.
