No body can build you that and have it fit unless its a total freak accident.

Push it, Pull it. Walk there and get them too. YOu want to wait 2 weeks for someone when you can get a ride to the shop and have them do it.

exactly it gets reallu humid here.. i need ac... and i originally had the turbo the other way... but it wouldnt fit. the charge side would hit the ac like about 2inch in... so i dont have a choice about the directions.. and i will get a new manifold befor i get rid of the ac

That's about how mine looked too, I initially was going to be running internal gate, but due to fitment issues with the compressor had to switch to external wastegate.

Here's a pic, you can't see it too well, but I thankfully had a friend that had some good fabbing skills and was able to make a downpipe for me.
