i think tjdouble07 had the same problem but i dont remember what he did as a solution(i could be remembering wrong)

He made his manifold go up on a angle where the turbo bolts to. I have to get this worked out fast!

It's just about a 1/4 inch in the way too! :shoots: I'm thinking about mounting the turbo the other way. I think that will work once the a/c is out. what do you guys think?

Wouldn't the downpipe his the cross member dealy on the other side?

So, you can drill out the holes a little to adjust it's place?

So i got a bad update: My car was out side in my driveway for three weeks and got broke into, they smashed my window and took my eclipse dvd/nav double din touch screen :shoots: No worries, i got my radio back in less than 4 days later. :wink: I think i may go radio less in my car now. (all performance!) Retards that did it left my HKS turbo timer and Greddy EBC :twisted: I can't wait to find the little shit that did it!

I plan to get this build moving a little quicker now that i got my car back in my garage again.

So i haven't really had too much time to work on the trac because i've been helping my brother do a 2.4 liter stroker swap in his 97 gst. I'm done with that now and found some time to get the car ready for the engine pull. The head is then going to be shipped off to ATS to get a rebuild and my 272's installed. While that is going on i will be painting the engine bay silver with a blue peal and taking apart and repainting all the front end components. should look really nice. I hope! lol

I got out to look at this turbo hitting the slave cylinder again and found that it was the least of my problems :twisted: now the turbo clears the slave and the dip stick is in the way :cry: I mocked everything up better today and even the hood will close with some massaging :wink:
