I got it running today with just the headers on and no turbo, so it will drive under it's own power now at least (open headers = btw ) .. I'm gonna have to make a decision on what to do next..

Can we cut the headers at the flange and insert a 2 inch extention to get it where it needs to be.

I got the drivers side to fit.. I had to remove the horn as well so the turbo could be placed high enough. It's not a great fit, but I eventually got it working.


The next problem is going to be that the downpipe does not fit very well.. it's one thing after another

I bet you wish you could just start over. It gets frustrating taking things apart repeatedly.
