Interesting... what's the theory on the wastegate piping? Where is the
turbo's oil drain going to be located?

Seeing the massive appearing tubular manifold brings up a question I have
had for some time.  Necking down(or tapering) of the exhaust runners
just prior to the turbo would speed the exhaust velocity.  Would this
be counterproductive in that would you lose more power thru increased back
pressure than you would gain thru increased turbo spin up.
My thoughts are that you would gain more turbo boost lower down and
have a more power under the peak.
I have designed paint ball guns which use CO2 as a propellant and a
taper of the jet gives quite a bit more distance and power for the same
gas used.  We don't have to worry about back pressure in a paint ball
gun so don't know if that really would be an issue. In a paintball gun
it doesn't take much of a taper to produce a noticeable effect so maybe
there could be designed a system that has minimal drawbacks.
Just musing on an otherwise slow Saturday.

Yes, but I'm having a bracket made to position the P/S pump where the AC
comppessor normaly sits. Who needs A/C at 30 psi? :-)

Why not just relocate the AC to the other side of the engine, ala BBR? If
it really is a question of one or the other, I'm sure that the people who
feel it is important to keep their AC wouldn't mind spending a few bucks
more for the revised bracketry.
