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.....

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
