I too would like to see pics of one installed in a WBX.  I think a lot of
the people who say no problem have never tried to install one on a
WBX.........

I have tried, sandwich plate adapter, etc., and was not comfortable with how
close the oil lines went to the exhaust, so i pulled it off.............I
felt it was an accident waiting to happen.
