Default Somone with a single turbo in a fox please help LOL

We decided to mock up the turbo kit in the car prior to ripping the top end off the motor ect JUST to make sure it all fit since the kit is new but 2nd hand ......

I dont know if this kit is for a Fox body. the passenger side header is about 1/2 in fromthe shock tower and the flange for the turbo which is level in every kit i can find pictured is canted about 45 degrees towards the fender. there is absoloutly no way cold side or the main exhaust could fit. I MAY just be completely retarded but I dont really think its me. Anyone got any good pics of a passenger side single set up?

:thinking im gonna have to beg somone to swing by and tell me im retarded or confirm my fear:

thats really not the issue tho . the turbo is right up almost against the fender and the 3 inch exhaust out would need the firewall "focused" about 5 inches

Where is the crossover pipe? A more complete drawing might help.

the cross over pipe is under the front of the motor. THAT also it short but not by a ton .. a few tweaks plus the advice from Cochese and we are back on track. It was hard to tell with pictures so He just drove on over and looked at it , got us all sorted out.
