I'm sure you'll like it.
If the slip joint doesn't work out, weld in a bellows. Make sure to get a good one. Makes the install much easier and keeps leaks to a minimum.

TIAL updated their Garrett mount to clear the steering knuckle. This looks just like TIAL's turbo/engine mount? Either way, this is easier than the OE fab work.
I went with the Broadfoot mount which has a few issues sorry to say first it didn't clear the steering shaft so I had to space it up and out on the motor with 4 millimeter washers second the drain was quite an improvisation basically I use McLarenos drain setup with some mods

I can't help but notice the wear mark/hole on your AOS heat shield. Mine did the same, courtesy of the 3" down pipe. See picture below. Mine wore clean through the shield. I ended up just modifying the shield by cutting out the corner that sticks out so far and tacking in a patch. It buys a lot of extra space. The shield is now closer to the AOS so maybe a little hotter, but I figure it has to be better than a shield with a big hole in it.
Still waiting for my crossover and downpipe to come back from ceramic coating I doubt I'll use these guys again its been a week and a half

Here's a picture of my coolant routing and as you can see no water pump I'm sure that will cause a few raised eyebrows
I've been running my turbo like that for years my car runs super cool you just have to be aware of it during track days
I allow the car to idle a few minutes before shutting it down

i wonder if maybe the prototype was made with brand new engine mounts of whatever brand, at full height the arm perhaps clears but with settled/collapsed mounts perhaps that is where it contacts?

Interesting theory but it worked fine with the OE mount, no issues

Back from ceramic coating apparently one thing I didn't know is that this particular coating is an air dry I always thought that these coatings were baked on like powder coating
