I was running out to go see a movie and didnt get a chance to type anything. I started around 9am and finished around 11:30am getting everything on the car. The only tough part is bolting the waste gate to the manifold itself. The exhaust HAS to be put in place BEFORE you attempt to put the waste gate on. If you do not and try to do it before because there is more room....well the exhaust wont fit and you will have to unbolt it and take it off. So save some time and route the exhaust first Other then that everything else went pretty smooth. No sound clips yet and I have to find someone that can weld on the rest of the exhaust. The injector clips should be here tuesday, coolant overflow I think john sent out today so hope it will be here soon as well, and then just waiting on some 60mm TB's to get done so I can chunk the stocker thats on it now.
Well found an issue with the exhaust. The two sections you sent me are 4 inch. Well the downpipe coming off of the turbo is 3 inch. So welding the center piece with the resonator onto the downpipe will not work because one is 4 inch and one is 3 inch. I am wondering how we could fix this? I am guessing the center section with the resonator on it should have had a smaller sized diameter piping on one side so it could be welded to the downpipe?
Chaos, everything looks good with your set up. I will get the final pipe out to you in 2 weeks. That looks like everything fits very well. Can't wait to hear it running.

We talked and you should have everthing fixed now.
Ok I feel better now, thats not that bad. That could just be the pipe causing the flex to hang down a bit. 2 weeks from now I will be doing a locals car so I will have more info then about the fitment of the new system.

sounds good and I an NDAing the manifold out tomorrow to get it done.
Man is this kit ever looking SWEET!!! I cant wait to hear it and see some numbers....I am assuming it is going to be 4" all the way back???
Great job, John....
Its 4 inch side exit
John is opening up the port on my manifold...so when I get that back and the TB I will be able to crank it up and start moving forward. Thanks for the compliments!
