This is Tim's DP right?









I test fitted mine and it is too close to the radiator, and it touchs and blocks the hot piping from the compressor to the intercooler.

I guess I need to cut and modify the piping in order to fit nicely.



Does anyone with this DP have any problem?

If you had, how did you make that fit? like how many cuts and how much angle stuff.

yea, a different companies manifold will obviouse place the turbo - and downpipe in a different location. if your not running a speed factor manifold, or the one he used to do the fitment on the DP on, it will fit diferently obviousely

i had to completely rework my speedfactor down pipe, cost me 175 bones

mine was aiming closer to the driver's door than the exhaust, and it touched the engine, selinas was like socks'

and then when i got a new turbo i found out the flange isnt the regular T3 flange, so i had to redo that too. yippie

xxx: me, selina, and socks' also used tims manifold, all his kits had fitment issues, some major some minor
