Pics of my 35r setup

This is just for mock up purposes I figured I snap some pics and get some feedback. Do you think I'll have any fitment issues as the turbo may be sitting out a little far but I'm not sure. It's a 35r with a 1.06 t4 turbine going in a fd.

I am worried it might hit the strut tower , it sticks out quite a bit. Did you set up a jig in the car before all the fab work?

It was built on a 13b rew but in a fc, so who knows. Can somebody measure for me the distance from the top front lim mounting bolt to the strut tower? Better yet maybe somebody local just happens to have a fd with a motor in it and no turbos right now so I could test fit it lol.

If it was built for a fc there is more space than an fd!

Well that mani didn't work. We decided to move the turbo forward and upward to have longer runners and a proper collector as well as run the twin gates and the option for a four inch downpipe. Let the welding begin!
