1G Looking to upgrade fp black......What would you pick

1st pic in my last post is exactly what too cut out for a big drain if you're talking about the roll stop bracket. I thought I took a picture of it by itself but can't find it.
Edit. Here is just a blow up. Plasma cutter made it a lot easier.

Ok I see what you did, u removed about and inch maybe 3/4 inch around the perimeter

Yep. You will think it's a lot but just make sure you leave material around bolt hole so you can keep that monster in your bay. You will see there is a reinforcement in the rollstop bracket that will limit your cut some or at least on my 90 there was.
And I'm sure I don't have to say it but deburr all the edges so you never have a sharp edge to possibly cut into your drain.

Yeah enough to make room I'm doing it too.

It's chilly out but I have my header and turbo off if you need a picture. I could go out and shoot one real fast.

Its still dirty since its 34* out but this is what you will do....

As you see you can leave MORE material around the roll stop mount itself but you need to cut it straight back to the reinforcement plus just a bit more.

I didn't have too cut too much on mine. I did make my own drain line out of scrap flanges and aluminum piping. This is a mock up as I still need to weld them. ID is about 17mm. Pretty close to a 12an ID.

Do you have a picture of how much you cut out .... final product I mean

I cut mine exactly like 1990tsi pictures show. I used an electric cutoff wheel and deburred it.
