didnt get a chance to get pics, carlos came over to help me out but it started raining, we did get a min to try different turbo placements and it has a slight chance of working. I wont know for sure until i pony up some dough for the turbo. turbo price isnt too bad considering what i was wanting to go with but still its a little more.

That would make sense considering you invested so much already.

well I test fit the manifold (its never been installed so no idea just how well it will fit), I put it on my car and had an old dezod t3/t04e turbo (its a bad turbo but good for mocking up stuff) that i used to get an idea of spacing, the intake part of the turbo was hitting the corner of the transmission right where the vin number is. now the turbo todd used is a t4b comp housing but the same od intake is used as the dezod turbo. I looked through the old pics of my old kit and seen that the foot on the turbine housing sticks out further which gives a slight bit of hope that the turbo centerline will drop just enough to clear that corner on the transmission but i have my doubts. if it works then great but if it doesnt i may end up having to cut and reweld the manifold to get the clearance i need.

Ok guys i'm ready to do this install. Weather is starting to get nice here. The only thing i have left now is this whole exhaust situation. mandrelexhaustsystems.com has disappeared of the face of the earth and it really sucks. They're the only ones that could make a custom 3" mandrel system the way i need it for only $420 shipped. None of the exhaust shops by me have mandrel benders and the one guy that i always go to for exhaust work quoted me $500 for an spipe back exhaust.... and its not even mandrel bent.
So i need some help here guys or some suggestions
