A OBS style has enough room, depending on what size turbo and where you place it....just have to modify the radiator mounts a tiny bit.....

I'd rather have a fully boxed frame, better suspension >_>

I'd be interested in a CAI and headers if they were longtube (and cheap to ship to canada you bastards)

how is it better suspension when it weighs 600 lbs more than the OBS counterpart? my friends dad has a NBS and the ride was horrible. my 12 year old shocks rode better than its stock ones
