Brian,
just out of curiousity.. why is the turbo so far forward? have any pics of it? I did some more work tonight, and hsould have the turbo mounted up with the passenger side header in the next day or two and will snap some pics. but I chose to put my turbo at an angle for fitment of everyhting and have no return issues whatsoever! anyways.. I will get those pics just as soon as I get the T4 flange welded to the up pipe and can bolt it in place!

I had to make it so far forward to clear the water pump. I knew the way that I did my piping the turbo had to be supported by something besides the exhaust piping so I figured I would bolt it to the cross member. It's the most stable thing close to the turbo. Here's the link to one of my origional posts with pics in it. It should clear up any questions.

Well I found some aluminum pipe ubend at the local hardware store. It's crimped but looks good. It's a 1" od but it's thin walled so it should flow nicely. Time to call my welder to see if he can do aluminum.
