Instead of modifying the manifold how you showed it to me for the T25, can you fix it so it looks like RxR Eclipse's manifold? Reason being that I what to see if he can have another downpipe made like his.

Of course I could
actually it would be easier
I just need to know from Kevin the angle he used

You will still have to do a modification on the turbo
which is drilling and tapping 2 holes for the bolts of the wastegate activator

Kevin said it costed him a big $12 to have it done :)

Hey I didn't know I was the topic of choice :)

It sits at this angle

A couple of problem that you will have...
1.) The bottom bolts that normally you would use to "tap into"(bolt the tubo to the manifold) the turbo cannot be used, So you will have to use smaller bolts,(grade 14.4 or better), and nuts. I used threadlocker to keep them from vibrating off.

2.)Next when you get the downpipe made, it is a real BITCH and a half to get the lowest bolt threadded (he had to make such a tight bend down with 2.5 in pipe it had to be notched, or dented, a little to get the bolt in). This is why I would recomend putting it closer to runner #4>driver side>,this would give you more room to work with. That is part of the reason that it took the guy 4 hrs to do my downpipe. And if it was closer to runner #4 my radiator hose would not be as close.

Hope this helps guys.
