so i finally built a tubular manifold.......

[all_motor_mike]

Nice, looks like all the clearances are good. Have you tried to put a coupler on the turbo housing next to the mount yet?

yep the intake pipe has been put on............ its not straight is a s shape. it comes off the turbo then curves up and then over again. pretty much in th area of the stock filter housing.

Looks really good Mike, I am looking foward to the wastegate plumbing.

 

[all_motor_mike]

well its obviously going to face downwrd and the dump goes right in front of the intake pipe and then it curves backward once past the intake pipe and slips right between the motor mount and the longitudinal under engin brace thing.

That's a super clean job for a DIY header! Did you previously have the OEM passenger side fan removed? (the big one) The reason i ask is that when i did mine and put the same slim line on it that you have, i constantly overheated if i tried to use the air conditioning. I ended up rotating the outlet to the top and was able to trim the fan's upper left corner to fit the IC pipe in there and now i have my AC back with no cooling issues. That one large fan is very valuable IMO. But if you're not worried about AC it'll be just fine. Still a damn good loooking header if you ask me. I'd proudly sport that instead of my cast Turbonetics unit


I'm shooting you a PM, i got a little neon project in the works and need your help.
