As I mentioned in another thread... we have finished our passenger side exhaust manifold design/jig/layout and my welder can build them at will now. Well... the wastegate isnt on there yet, but that is going to be like the final touch since we have a lot of freedom on placement with it.
We are still working on the drivers side, which is much tighter due to the steering shaft. We are trying our best to limit how much modification is required to the driver side motor mount. But these are some awfully large turbos we are putting in my car right now. Sometimes I consider selling them and going down a step, but for the manifolds; the show most go on. I want our CJM manifolds to be capable of putting these monsters on the side of the engine... for if they do not, there isnt a whole lot of point in them existing!
So we will keep fitting the beasts, and then test fit with smaller stuff later.
Here is a really dark and terrible shot of the passenger manifold installed. It has gobs of clearance and turned out great.
