   Yes it will fit. I've ran a r5 filter for years, on my 400+ Bhp engine.

   No idea. It will fit. It's been done countless times - have a search of the forums.

    I run the smaller filter on a relocated mount, but could in theory run a standard size. Mine won't fit because of my turbo manifold. Many people, as I've said a few times now, have run the r5 filter...
