Re: Paging Rob Raymer... Im not sure his will bolt up with the turbotech kit. I had mine redone at a local exhaust shop over the tranny, i have a M6. You loose ground clearance though. Ive scrapped a couple of times.

Re: Paging Rob Raymer... I dont see why it wouldnt bolt in.. The only problem I see the location of the wastegate on his kit compared to the TTi kit... What size is your X-over tube, 2-1/4"? How much did that run ya? Ground clearance isnt a real big concern with me, I dont drive my TA on the street much anymore...

Re: Paging Rob Raymer... The waste gate is one of the main reasons it wont bolt in. also the driver sided header is alittle diffent (Rob says) from the TT one, cause of this it might not line up. He told me his 3" Down pipe wouldnt work. Good thing Turbotech just released their 3" DP.
The shop did the crossover for around $100.
I think your best bet would be to go to a custom exhaust shop and have them bend/weld you up a custom crossover.
I used 2.5" exhaust tubing.

Re: Paging Rob Raymer... Why didnt you route yours under the tranny tailhousing? That probably would have given you more ground clearance.. I cant understand why the guys at TTi even dreamed of running the x-over tube infront of the engine.. I would rather sacrifice ground clearance than replacing steering boots and power steering lines often..

It doesn't go anywhere near the front of the engine.
Neither does Smokin's. His just takes a trip slightly forward (for extra clearance I assume) but it doesn't go forward of the cross member.
