This is the prototype pics...the new one just showed up Monday so it's not installed yet. The turbo is 2" lower on the production unit.

so on the production model with it being 2 inch lower is that going to tilt the turbo outlet to point up more. I am planning a FMIC at this point and am debating the difficulty to apply your header to the application...

The angle of the turbo is still horizontal, just 2" lower. You can clock the compresson housing so the outlet points anywhere you want.

Exactly...you can point it up, down, to the right, left, or anywhere in between...of course up doesn't work real well with the turbo as high as it is...

That is a NICE looking piece Stinger!

Is that a big burn hole in the hood on the first pic, or is that oil?

I don't know what that is...the thing directly above is the SVO scoop...the rest is just a POS hood insulation...it's not there anymore.
