Be it luck, or skills, dont know, but i built the whole thing on the bench, then testfitted, and had 1½cm to spare until i hit the strut

It will end up quite high, but that's the only space i have so... And who would argue against a turbo sticking up out of the hood

Aaaaaaaand, doing all this fancy work means one thing.. Cant mount the old filthy lump garret calls a turbocharger, so have ordered a brand new Holset Hx30 That's good for up to 400Hp When i get that one (hopefully next weekend) and can test fit it, and see that everything lines up, then i will weld the hell out of that manifold
