the downpipe is 2.5" coming off the turbo and it makes a crazy bend, then it opens up to 3"
this is the only pic for now, as I am waiting for my Vband flanges to come in, so all work has been halted on the downpipe.

test fit of what soon will be my new upper intercooler pipe, 3" aluminum

Well thats all the pics for now, im hoping to make some progress on getting the intercooler mounted
this week and finishing the downpipe and wastegate dump. Once thats all done my tranny needs to come
out and get the LSD sent back to Quaife so they can fix it, then I can move on to finally install my Energy Suspenion
complete suspension bushing kit and my Megan Coilovers, after thats done I am installing my twin walbro 255 fuel pump setup and finally when all that is done I can install my Brembo calipers/rotors and new wheels. Ohh did I mention I still have to install the JDM rear bumper, grille and sideskirts? and get the car painted? It never ends...........
