is it a completely custom dp or do you have one of those stock cast elbows on there? if so ------ cut that ----, get a flange and a mandrel bend and make yer own dp...

what turbo is it?

Might want to look into getting a custom front cross member

i had almost the same problem with my last kit. i had to cut alot off the crossmember by the passenger headlight to squeeze it in there and drill out the rad bottom supports and reweld them about an inch and a half over. it sucked but it turned out pretty good.

just cut that bitch up until it fits
