Woah thats top stuff. Is that Turbo definatly going to clear the inner wing?.
Im guessing there will be additional bracing from the tubby flange to the engine somewhere...Very impressed

It does look a bit large, can't it be made smaller?

Surely that turbo will be close to the inner wing. It might be hard to put a pipe on it being so close, unless the compressor is rotated down or something.

How much will this end up costing wacomuk?

It will fit with a 2" gap between the manifold and side wing. This is the smallest I can make it with the bends I have. It will cost him £223.51 shipped.

Thats pretty cheap...

Will the turbo need rotating then?

Will you be fitting a brace?

With the 2" clearance will this be an issue with the engine moving on its mounts? My downpipe sometimes hits the firewall, but the engine moves anticlockwise due to the torque reaction ie moves the turbo away from the wing, but it might come back the other way under hard engine braking.

Your engine shouldn't move more than 2" or maybe it's time for new motor mounts. I don't think it needs to be braced because I'm using Sch 40 pipe that's more than 5mm thick for the side walls. the turbo will need to be rotated about 15 degrees.

Here are the completed pictures. It's been sent a couple weeks ago Dave. In the pictures it's not bolted to head it just sitting on the studs.
