ya it was a bit tricky to make it smoothly, i have a different hood so it allowed the turbo to go a bit higher to make the corner

That is great that you built the kit yourself. I think that is a big part of the fun. Enjoy it

Thats what you have to do when using manifolds. Ive seen a couple done that way. Thats how Im doing mine as well.

nice setup man. get your headers ceramic coated, it'll spool a little quicker, as well as last longer without rusting.

If anyone is looking for a cheap kit this one is for sale in the classified section. Since this thread i cleaned up the welds, painted it with high heat paint and wrapped up the hot pipes. I also added an electric 3 inch cut-out that exits out the fender and installed a 1.32 exhaust housing off a garrett. Kit has worked very well and never gave any trouble. All other details are here:
