Well, this has turned into another one of my never ending projects.
Still waiting on machine time for the TB flange on the intake manifold. Should be able to get some exhaust work done next weekend.
Hopefully it's only a few more weeks.

Uh oh... apparently a downpipe is necessary, lol. We have no room for it with these custom headers.
Gotta figure something out...
In other news, the intake manifold is done, just finished mounting it for the first time. It fits great and looks good, too. It will go on permanently Monday night or Tuesday.
Going to be ordering some aluminum for the intercooler stuff this week.

where doesn't it fit? It won't fit anywhere, even with the smaller brake booster... The rear headers take up the entire spot where the DP would normally go. I will take some pictures tonight/tomorrow to try and get some ideas.

Track or street car? Nvm I had a very bad idea lol You ever think about rotating the turbo? Having the exhaust facing the headlight? Not the nicest looking setup but it fixs that issue. I know of 2 people who did a setup like that. They had to add an extra flex but it worked. Just sayin its an option. My other idea was much more extreme

either youre gonna have to scrap the rear header for a more compact set-up or you may have to exit the exhaust through the fenderwell behind the front tire. No, scratch that, you'll be too close to the incoming fuel lines. Turbo zoomie stack going thru the hood?

Gonna clean up some wiring mess tomorrow, too.
Gotta do an LIM job on a 3400 tonight. Yuck.
