Actually last time it got hit, the insurance was enough to fix the damage and pay for the widebody to be installed and painted. If it happens again, may as well buy a 360.

Built an intake for my friends GST, it came out pretty nice but I'm gonna make some design changes when I make one for myself.

did you make all of those bars???
By any chance, do you have any sketches or measurements for those things!? I would really like to fab up somthing like that, and have sketched out a few, well, sketches, but something that works, like yours, would be a nice base to use. Also, the biggest thing I am concerened with is how to get the end links, well, how to basically mount the bar(s) to the acutal car... any closeups of that would be well apreciated!!

porsche engines from the factory are a drysump system and the oil drains from the turbo into an accumulator then there is a cam driven scavange pump that pulls the oil out of the accumulator or a simple way to do it if you go single turbo on the side is to gravity drain it to the lower valve cover or if a rear mounted setup drain it to the lower chain covers.

nice work! The turbo placement looks odd because of the engine placement 
one question. Are you planning on doing something to stop your brake fluid from boiling? The mani looks like it comes awful close to the brake fluid res. Maybe a heat sheild?
Looks good tho
