Turbo down pipe qs with pics

[Kozworth]

I am using a Mani adapter off a guy here but in the pics look closely. One part is literally on the pass side frame rail, and also the wg is millimeters above the manifold. However the oil drain/ic piping/down pipe seem clear, feed line might be tight. Should I be ok wrapping the manifold and adapter with exhaust wrap?

I just do not want the wg exposed to excessive heat or have an issue with iy touching the frame.

I have no issue banging in the frame rail if possible or rewelding and retorting the wastegate possibly to weld a 90* up and have the wastegate sit between 3 and 4 cylinders

so what is the question?

i would say go ahead and bang your way to clearance for the turbo, and obiously if something looks off/weak. just re-enforce it.


id have a problem with those AC lines being right there. and the coil placement should be moved

Dude it looks like your frame has some major rust/damage

Yea this is a mockup on my part out car. The turbo is going in a different car.

My question was is the bov going to be too close and exposed to excessive heat ring only mm away from manifold? And is the adapter going to be an issue sitting right on the frame like that?

I was thinking the same thing then I noticed the ground being seen through the strut hole.
