Actually the manifold plumbing would be easier (smaller turbo though and might require a dry-sump on the oil-return if its too low... or a self-lubricated turbo). The intake piping would be so-so... if it uses the liquid-air IC... easy as well.

Hey, good to hear from you Cheston - you definateley have a beautiful car! I sure would like to go to LACR... but my FWD makes it pointless unless I have slicks.
In any case... we should chat.

Since everybody (acura-cl.com and my350Z.com) has an opinion about everything... please clarify the following if you could:
(a) What kind of boost were you pushing that day
(b) What have you dyno'd previously at that boost level
My answers to those questions are (on my setup):
(a) ~5.5 to 5.8psi
(b) Haven't dyno'd yet

allmotor has the 6MT and he is only pushing 5.5psi.

Obviously this guys doesn't know our motors don't have connecting rods! We have gear driven pistons...that's why the stock internals can handle all this power.
