Your turbo location and setup suggest using the Shinobi Stinger but it doesn't really add additional clearancing anywhere. The other options which give some additional clearance and the same advantage of heat extraction is from ACP. I would give Kerry a call and see what he can do since he can be creative when needed.

Whatever you choose to go with be sure to put this directly above the manifolds and turbo's to keep things a "non-issue":

Here's my DRM hood... but they don't make it anymore. I finally found one after over a year of searching. It happened to come off of a black track car so it was beat up and still in black gel coat. Knowing I was going to re-do my car I never painted it.



Currently under contstruction:
