Bulk buy? 
What sort are you looking at? Engine hugging inside the bodywork or outside?

Welderman on here did a cracking job on his one, turbo in front of the engine, mine is slung down the side and forward 1/2 in 1/2 out.
The issue I see is where your engine sits in the car, mine dodges the frame tubes and my engine is in line with frame side so not the centre of the
car. It really is something that needs doing in the car IMHO.
I saw an R1 turbo'd car the other week, it had a fantastic looking install with the turbo under the scuttle although heat was a problem.
Standard tubes are thin, You can make from 1.5" stainless bends and reuse the standard brackets and lathe out the round bits that crush the
copper washers to fit.
The hard part for was planning and welding in the correct order.

Mines made up from 1.5mm thick stainless steel elbows
If you can't get anyone close enough to sort you one out then I will have a go for you. Who ever does it will probably need the car and engine
to get it in the right position
Is it an oil cooled from the engine or like marks with the oil in the turbo ?
Thank's, Joe
