Well that is a good question, when Abe made the manifold and downpipe the original plan was to was a genuine Garret, but with limited funding I had to go with a chinacharger. Not sure if its the orientation of the turbine housing bolts or if its the turbine housing itself. Either way the dowpipe hits the transmission. Abe offered to fix it if I sent it back to him with the turbo I planned on using. Instead I got these two T3 304 SS manifold flanges, welded them up and it clears no problems now. Although it looks... kinda ghey
Thanks

Go back to the first page. Mine goes down... FM kit.
We'll see how long it takes for the rubber IC pipe to rub through on one of them smooth AC lines. I also have no PS, so that makes things pretty simple.

Some clean bays guys! And some gnarly ones lol.
Next on the list for me is a catchcan or breather for the VC...that chrome tube has got to go. Then more wire tucking, possibly (finally) eliminating the entire factory engine harness. And now I'm thinking the intake mani needs to be crinkle black to match the valve cover.
