Default To close to head???
Can I make the headers to short and cause a problem with the turbin wheel being to close to the head? Just wondering????

The closer it is the better it will spool the turbo.
It won't hurt a thing.

Them are some fancy flanges you got there!!

That is what I thought but wanted to make sure. As for the flanges, the water jet at work makes this stuff almost easy. Here are the Twin FP brackets and the motor mounts I made earlier.
