Erik, get the Z10 set up, it wouldn't clear my plumbing either, I had to cut about 2 inches off the pipe that comes out of the turbo, I also had to change my turbo oil drain to clear the bar. It was definitely worth it, my car has absolutely zero wheel hop and I have stock engine mounts.

Z10 and jimfab are about the same....you could always make your own solid mounts but be prepared for massive vibration but I can definitly say you will have no hop

Jan did you get any before and after pics? I wanna know what I'm getting into before I do it. I can't fabricate shit so I'd have to make a trip to Dallas I'm thinking if it's to much.

Erik,
I will dig up some pics.
You can get somewhat of a view of everything affected in this picture

You can see the lower boost pipe, the oil drain, and the Z10 strut rod underneath all of it. It's a tight fit for sure. The only problem I had and still have is that the left rod rubs my Moroso pan under some conditions. If you have a stock pan you will have plenty of room.
