Finished the down pipe today, it has a v-band on the end of it now - it also has three O2 bungs - 1 for a wideband and the other 2 in case I want to run EFI - and the wastegate now dumps into it..... It ends just before the firewall, pointin towards the opening right beside the trans bell housing..... From there the exhaust will go back down the driverside of the car when I get it made.....

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to go in and out with everything else is in place like I wanted it to...... But if I take the radiator out it will slide in and out with everthing else in place, so that's not to bad.....

Here are some pic's.....






The oil filter is a little close to the downpipe, but not too bad..... It has more then a 1/4" of clearance right at the top corner, that's the closest it gets..... I can always go with a little shorter filter, but I think it should be fine like it is(all the hotside will be thermal coated).....

A couple pic's of the space between it and the filter.....






And here are a couple pic's with the rest of the turbo and radiator in place..... Everthing else has real good clearance so far.....
