What are your plans for bracing the turbo/exhaust? Don't forget to factor that in.

Edit: At second glance; how is the exhaust getting under the car?

cammo hes going to mount the dump to the manifold with a bracket so it doesnt hang off the turbo causing any strain and will allso have a flexijoint in the pipe as well to give it more protection.the wastegate is looking like its in the way right now but he thinks there is enough room to go over the top and down.but it may need removing to elsewhere yet its still in the building phase and being hes not really mechanically minded hes done bloody well so far to even make a manifold and fit the plenum.ive been helping via email and messenger but its hard to explain stuff from far away.if i had some spare time ide shoot up and help but ive been waiting till its nearly done so i can shoot up for a few days to a week and tune it i dont really have time to go away for a couple of weeks.once i sort the few VS tunes ive got to fix due to bad eproms i will have some time to shoot up and help maybe.
