I'm pretty sure the manifold will fit but it's the exhaust routing that will be a major hassle :cry:

Also no provision for external wastegate should you need one winkeye

Twin Tial 38's is the way Graham!

Can't see how you could weld on a pipe as the collector is very small, still it can be done :D

How does your fit around the oil filter? or is that a remote job now? Mines only accesable from below which isn't too bad I suppose.

ehhhh,2 of 38mm tials, its gonna be hard enough to mount 1 of 40mm,got all flanges made just need to dummy build as cars stood waiting at the mo...busy with work,house improvements etc....the boring stuff !

im gonna have to tap in near tubby flange somewhere,but not decided where or how,ill put pics up when done though....those sandwich flanges are great if youve got bags of space above turbo....2 t3 flanges with a port on one end to mount wg....bolt under turbo...dont wanna put a six inch high power bulge on my bonnet though....lol

Agreed, good plan too but my thoughts were the same, it's gonna be a tight fit in there.
