Im at the part where i just bolted together the wastegate, the up pipe, downpipe to the turbo and i tried to drop it into the car and i cant get it to fit onto the header. It looks like theres something in the way. heres the pics so you can see what i mean. (im guessing i put it together wrong, but it looks right)

 

No, you haven't put it together wrong. You need to take that bracket off and keep the bolt that hold that bracket to the engine out too. That should free up the space you need.

 

so.. u want me to take the thing i circled off then put it back on after i have it bolted on?

 

nope, take that off completely and leave it off. Including the bolt that mounts it to the engine. On mine, that bracket is off and so is the bolt. It will be fine without it and it should free up the space you need.

 

now im sry guys dont mean to jack the thread but this makes me proud when i see guys helping each other out this is what forums were made 4

 

is that the stock manifold? please tell me thats coming out too. nah, nevermind that, i know its coming out cause i dont' think anyone would put a turbo kit in with the stock header...........................right?

 

liquid lancer did... n dere are others out there with it

 

but why? why on earth would you do such a thing? it just doesn't make sense, and isn't it a tad dangerous? i think i remember something about the stock manifold keeping too much heat or being far to restrictive for turbo that is causes problems

 

probably, but i dont have the money right this minute to buy it.

heres my second problem. i took the bracket off, but it looks like the wastegate is hitting my lower mount. heres the pic. is the wastegate on the right way? it said to point the vent tube down so im guessing its the way i have it:

 

hmm... I don't know why your having so many problems... I might just have to come down to your place and help you.

 

thatd be pretty sweet if you could.

 

Give me a minute to take some pics. I have mt turbo setup off my car right now so I'm going to go look at it and see whats up

 

here's what my setup looks like.

 

Did you figure it out yet?

 

me? Can you from the pics?
