Got the Jig set up today for the headers. I made an adjustable set up so I could move the turbo in and out and up and down to get it looking right. Once I was happy I locked up the nuts and made a jig to build the headers off.
I think I got good height for the turbo to drain well. I can also see now how difficult it can be to retain the stock wastegate set up.
Are you guys using 37mm OD pipe for the headers same as the stock header diameter?
I see on the web the most common size for a mandrel bend is 1.5" or 1 5/8" also what radius bends did you use?
How did you set up the mating to the head? Did you use larger pipe (45mm OD) over the smaller pipe for the flanges to push against to hold in place?

There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer
