I've got the original rear facing kit on my 96 Cobra.
I bought it with the expectation of making modifications as I'm running the non-turbo max motorsports k-member.
The cons stang8762 listed are fairly consistent with mine. I used an HPX slot style maf from the get go so I didn't have that problem.
The front pipe does hang a bit low so I raised the car with coil overs. The v-bands were junk. Expect to pay about $60 for new v-bands. I think the on3 v-bands would work if you only used them once but as you tighten and loosen them to make adjustments they start losing shape.
I too had to make my own turbo bracket.
I have a bit of a non-factory setup but I have so little clearance between the turbo and an underdrive waterpump pulley bolts that I can't even put a turbo blanket on it. I would be extremely surprised if a 76mm turbo would fit.
I would mostly agree with stang8762's list of supporting mods. (Some of those items you can find cheaper if you look around.) Although, under 17psi you can use a single 255 and boost-a-pump.
I'm waiting for the snow to clear to go dyno, but I'm expecting big numbers for 16psi. The car pulls freaking hard. I've also got a 472 rwhp eaton car and there's no comparison. I'm only running 14 degrees of timing too. Once I relocate the IAT after the methanol I suspect I'll bump that up a couple degrees.
Here's my build sheet:
