Alright... I'm putting this 6 bolt into my 2g, whole entire motor, and have come to a problem. It seems like my 14b wont' hook up to the smic the 2g has. Do I need a special piece to make it fit/work right? Mind you, I have 2 complete motors, a ####ed up 2g and then a perfectly fine 1g. Both COMPLETE motors. This is just irritating me, because I can't seem to figure out how to get the 14b on.

It may be me just being a complete idiot and doing this wrong somehow, but I don't think it could be done wrong. Following the steps provided on this site in one of the articles.
 
You can either buy a aftermarket j-pipe to come off the turbo and drop down (then you can angle it any way you want it with some welding or whatever) or some guys, including myself have taken the stock 1g lower ic hose and cut it in half and flipped it around and added an extension to the center of it to lengthen it some, if you do that it KINDA :D reaches and should work for a little while for you. :dsm:
