They also have a kit, and I've heard of people cutting the oil pump pickup down an inch or two to get even more clearance. You can get the oil capacity back by making the (now shallower) pan longer, and put in a larger oil cooler.


EDIT: A turbo intercooled 616 with some pump tweaks should be able to keep up with a stock turbo 617. Even if it only hit 100hp, it's that much lighter.
