You may have to build your own turbo header. Notching the frame is the last thing I would do!

He made me a custom one for my stock S5, I didn't even need to take the car as he already had the measurements. He is pretty cheap too. Prices start at 250.

Thats his shop number, Rene Frano Jr. or his Brother Sergio Franco can help you out.




I wouldn't even touch the frame.. its just going to kill the car.


Islandsnow: Those welds are pretty damn good. Well at least better then mine.
