Not many people can answer that yet, since nobody really has gotten the kit in completely yet.
Some that do, are waiting for other things as well so their motors aren't running.
I tapped my girdle though simply because it seemed to be the smarter way to go for longevity and better oil drain. I believe Mase says to tap the pan, because if you ever wanted to return the car to stock form its easier to replace.
As for the 6262 basemap, there is not yet one ready.
NO NEED to relocate anything. It was made to work with all stock components and locations. But I'd still relocate the fuse box if you have the means to do so.
The AC lines are not relocated, but they are pulled back and bolted about an inch closer to the fender.
The oil filter doesn't have to be relocated, but now you can not access it from the top of the motor, just the bottom. Depending on the person, you may want to relocate it if its easier for you.
Mase does have a warranty on his manifold, so even if it does crack your covered. Not enough kits out and running right now to say that it wont crack, but there is that RHD one making 600+ and still hasn't had a problem over a year later. (that i know of)
My car should be up and running here soon. I'll make a thread with pictures and what not, and let everyone know how things go with it. I've got pics of just about everything so if anybody has a question about it, there will be a pic to show it.

^^ Thats what I did, brought it back to my car / garage and Mase said it was in the perfect location. Make sure to get it tapped and welded by someone reputable so the edge doesnt warp.
