Thanks, just always looking for a better or easier way to do something. Most of the time I don't find it and waste a bunch of time!

This sounds creepy thinking about it, but hey, it's working for him, and his car is awesome, for a Cameero (purposeful misspelling).
I had more room to mount them low, would have made header layout easier, but didn't want to deal with a sump and another pump for just the turbo's. You also have to use a check valve on low mounts as the oil wants to drain from the pan or tank into the turbo when the engine isn't running. Mine are about midway on the firewall, giving me enough slope to drain oil back to the pan.
