Also maybe you could try to mimic FHI's turbo exhaust design by having the manifolds facing foward and piping that comes from the Left manifold across the engine, joins the right manifold and goes over the crossmember under the head, which then flows to the turbo. You'd of course have to modify the crossmember to do this, but I'd be willing to bet if the control arms mount in the same area on the SVX as they do on the other new gen subarus you could use a turbo crossmember and not worry about reshaping the stock one.
... if you're going to do a turbo setup.. you do it right the first time.. don't spend money on fabricating things twice, and changing, and tuning and EVERYThhing twice..

the only way that would be halfway feasible is if you made an engine on a stand... did everything out of teh car, and then oonce you figured out all the details, modified what you ahve to fit inside of the car.. but even then, it really doesn't make much sense to do it twice
