Yea it's only about 1.5in away but I have a turbine blanket that's going over it to help cut down the heat. Hopfully it'll work alright.
For the time being i'm gonna run the DP under the K-member but i'm still thinking about pulling the A/C.

The exhaust housing will be fine that close to the radiator.... that's exactly how mine is and no problems so far.
Looks good man! Damn, I should have bought that turbo and made it fit my kit.. I might still. Is your radiator in the stock location with respect to the angle?... looks to be pulled up some, I guess that's the trimming you had to do? I will have to do that if I don't remake the Y of my kit.
Thanks

I'm just using stock 00 manifolds facing towards the back of the car. Here's a pic of the finished piping from the manifolds to the turbo.

I'm using twin 10in spals mounted on the front. I'm starting to worry that I might have over heating problems but I guess we'll get to that once it's up and running.
