So you wnet right under the oil pan and in front of the subframe. Interesting, looks good none the less.

From what I've seen, ADC goes right under the oil pan too. My DP might get redone down the road a bit if I run into clearance issues.

If I were to put a tighter 90* and maybe a 45* to swing it in after the turbine, I could probably get the DP to exit through the subframe rather than around it. If I do encounter clearance issues, that's what I'll do. The DP is higher than my mirko, so I'm hoping for the best 
Here is a pic without the turbo installed in the engine bay...
I used 2 45* bends rather than a 90* here, just incase I do want to run the DP under it.
I have a heat shield to protect the fan, radiator and wiring (which has also been wrapped in reflective wiring wrap to be on the analy safe side...), a heat blanket for the turbine and a stainless steel turbine/DP heat shield... 
I hope to avoid ANY heat related issues.

Really nice! I was going to do the 3" transition on the downpipe but the ground clearance stopped me!
How are you planning on dealing with road obstacles?

 It's actually a full 3" downpipe? Wow, nice creative way where you pulled it through the front and around the crossmember! My only question is what about your AC system?

No problem! I am proud and really proud to see that you were very original about the way you took the good and then improved upon it in your own way. Very nice, can't wait to see the huge numbers.

My only question is what about your AC system?
Almost, it starts off as 2.5" but transitions to a 3" before the 90* bend around the subframe. The bulk of it is 3" though.
No A/C, that all went when the 2.5L got pulled. I never, ever used it. Originally I was going to clock my turbo and place it where the A/C compressor used to be. It's too big, but a T28 would fit IMO.... but that'd be too small for my 3L.
I'm 50/50 on how my downpipe is right now. I have a mirko that's molded on to my bumper and my car is lowered, so I have to be cautious of how I drive anyway. In theory.... I think it will work out as the DP still sits above the mirkos lowest point.
