Originally posted by beyondloadedSE: 1. Wastegate when mounted actually hits the front radiator fan. Something is going to break when the engine rocks back and forth upon acceleration and decelerattion. We did manage to cut it off and reweld it so it leaves about 3/4" between the fan and the wastegate.
2. Collector pipe touches and rests on the bottom of the oil pan. Definetly not good!
Quote: 3. The exhaust downpipe seems to be a good 3" off from where the turbo would sit and bolt up. Also, i think they welded my straight pipe in place of my catalytic convertor upside down because it actually points downward.
