Been a minuet.... well i bought awhole different turbo setup... i went with an actual gtx2860r cartridge.... and a .60 a/r compressor housing.... i dont have the mounting hardware for it yet though....
But either way iv fabed up where i want the turbo to mount and make sure it clears everything in the car, and im going to use that to make a permanent jig out of 1/2inch aluminum plate and 1-1/2inch square tubing to hold everything during the welding process of the header.
And if it turns out well and if theres any want or need i can make more of the headers for others too.
I want to fine tune it a smidge to make the downpipe easier but ill have to see exactly where it all comes out. I havnt seen pictures of where others turbos are placed other than the pictures on MWRs setup but i think overall the setup i have will be more efficient on the wastegate. Not sure if i want a ram horn style or to freestyle it...
this is the old flange from my last header me an my uncle fabbed up i have a new flange for welding i just used it to help make the jig. So i didnt waste a new flange.
Theres still some adjustments iv made after these pictures so it wont land exactly wheres its shown but its close enough.
I also make some EXTRA clearance....
... on another note i finally bought the computer for this project so right now i pretty much have everything ill need to get this car finished and will post updates more often.
