Need Help!!! Please!
Ok Im puttin on my Apexi RX6 turbo kit and I need people feedback I think there's something wrong w/ my kit becasue the exchaust manifold is touching the fender wall and its really hard to conenct the turbo in it. I was wondering too is people have to relocate the heater hose becuase I think because the Manifold is not sitting right that the turbo is hitting the heater hose when we are trying to connect it. Please help I need some info on this, I will to take some pictures of it so you can get more idea on what challenge im getting into.\
Thanks
Kelvin

Just got done installing mine a couple of weeks ago. The only major obstructions was the AC line, I got it to fit by doing a little pushing and pulling. I hope this helps. shoot me an email if you like.

I had no problems with turbo hitting anything. While it is true that the turbo gets close to the inner fender, it shouldn't touch it either. Sorry couldn't be more help.

I have no experience with the kit itself, but Eric Hsu's advice was always to make sure you follow the instructions. That entailed not tightening down all the nuts until the end.
This applies to the stock turbos with the stock exhuast manifold. Most likely it will to the Apexi kit also.
