Pulling Hairs!

Manifold, turbo & downpipe placement is proving to be a bitch!
I can only get two of the above in the equation to fit!

Oh yeah I forgot the wastegate(s). Is that needed anyway!

I probably could mount the turbo in the rear by the muffler!

It's a 4 banger. It doesn't need a turbo.

Wowww Nice setup !!! Good job cris, Now how you plan to do about the traction with a lot of torque of 4 rotor produce? I Saw in Puerto Rico last weeken at race trac a 3 Rotor turbo Rx8 running low 9 with a lot of traction running with a 900 ++ RWHP they cant put all the power at drag strip.
