Neither offer cores in this exact dimension. I'm sure you can get something close from them. Currently we are having this size made to our dimensions for this application.
Just a little clarification about your post. First, its very rare that there are any issues with any of the Underground Racing stage 1-3 Gallardos. Second, with the relationship we have with most Lamborghini dealers, IF there was any issue we would have a local Lamborghini dealer take care of it OR we would limitedly fly a tech out. Thanks.

Hey Taylor! Subscribed to ur build here. You're probably wonder who this is...guess? Builder owner of sweetest twin turbo c6 true street car.
Anyway I would have zero reservations having DP making a turbo build for me.

Final update!
Well as some of you know my car has been done for about a week now. I couldn't be bothered to post as I've been enjoying driving it too much. Now that I am out of town for work though I can finally sit down and put up the final pics. This has been a really exciting/agonizing/fun wait. lol. If I was to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing!
Some of you might have even run into it down at TX2K12, please share your thoughts. If you ran me down there please feel free to post a vid if you've got one.
Lastly, I just have to give a huge shout out once again to Taylor who I'm proud to say has become a true friend during this build. You don't meet many people that are as smart, down to earth and friendly as him. Thanks again Taylor!
Without further ado... here are the final pics/updates:
Exhaust being built:
Tip fitment:
Bumper/Tip fitment:
Final welding on the tip by the man himself...
Housings off for coating... They label everything with my name. I feel special. lol.
Assembling the billet fuel hangers/pumps:
Getting ready to install the hangers/pumps and start wiring the Motec:
Wiring the Motec, look at all those wires!!! Ahhhhh!!!
Testing the fuel system for leaks:
Intake plenum making its way back on...
Water tank and lid fitment:
Intercooler and all everything else final test fitment before sending parts out for coating:
Exhaust and housings back from coating and installed:
Final assembly...
Draining old oil and about to fill her up with fresh fluids:
Wheels and tires back on...
Superleggera wing on:
Finally!!! The first startup!!!! Sorry the vid is on its side. I don't know how to flip it.
Rolled over to the dyno at 12am or 1am...
Out road tuning at 430am then its first tank of E85!
Bumper back on and a quick photoshoot before I leave to Houston for TX2K!
Loaded up and headed to Houston!

Thanks! I appreciate it!
Someone else asked the same question on another forum. Here is the answer from Taylor (Owner and Fabricator of Dallas Performance)
"I did the math and it is no less restrictive than having two 3" pipes curve 90 degrees on a mandrel bent 1D radius.
Fact is this will support 1300whp+++ if desired. I think that will be fine for what most peoples goals are."
Thanks Nero! It was nice meeting you for the first time down at TX2K.

Explanation's good enough for me. Of course, if the license plate wasn't in the way, it'd be routed higher and more gradually, but I'm sure it flows fine. Those turbos look great. I visited a 5 axis CNC facility and saw how they made the blades and recieved a turbo turbine blade as a present. Cool technology making these things.
