Exhaust Manifold
I am making progress on the manifold. I decided to go with a log style do to the limited room available. It exits towards the front of the engine and will place the turbo at the right front corner of the car. Since the body of the turbo is so large I had to remove the power steering reservoir bracket as well as the one for the headlight motor. I guess that means I'm converting to fixed headlights. I don't mind really as I was pondering that move to get rid of more weight. I'm planning to use a full 3" exhaust from the turbo back and its looking like I will have the room. The exhaust will sort of travel over the manifold while the wastegate pipe travels under the manifold reconnecting just above the starter. All of the guestimations have been accurate so far. If the success holds out I may have the time to get the manifold all assembled by the weekend.
