Engine Is Back and everything is getting put back together.
Only problem is were trying to figure out how to run 4+ inches of downpipe.
No space to get it back there.
were thinking or running a flat exhaust i think the v8 super cars run a similar setup.
my suggestion was to run multiple pipes like two 2.5" exhaust pipes as a downpipe that met up at the back.
any suggestions?

Are you talking from the exhaust port to the turbo (Header) or the turbo to the cat?

Where is your turbo located? Just inside the front drivers side wheel?

Cheers

Manifold now runs up into the engine bay.
Turbo Sits in front of the engine now.
Downpipe from turbo down to exhaust and cat well that's if i were to put a cat in so from my engine bay down to the exhaust aka my downpipe.
for a turbo that size a good size downpipe should be at least 3.5 - 4 inches.
there is not much room to get a pipe that big back there.
oil pump get's in the way.
trying to relocate my oil pump.

Yeah I have had a similar issue with the OMP getting the way of things. I want to run an adapter that draws oil from a seperate reservoir than the sump but the turbo piping is in the way and I cant do it :(

The square piping would be interesting, but my issue would be the 90 degree bends you would end up with!

Cheers

Andrew
