Down pipe a little close to the AC pipe? Kinda hard to tell on the top down view.

About an inch of clearance, it should be wrapped or shielded some way.

the manifold design isnt mine, i was asked to build a Greddy manifold for a 1.8L with a T28 so the options for a good 3" downpipe are few and far unfortunately its just a difficult spot to work around and the downpipe took a very long time and as you can see quite a few different welded sections.

So I actually locked myself into the shed and slept there last night and got a LOT of work done.

Im going to start dumping pics, feel free to interject

Chasing TPs issues for Boost control by throttle position on the MS, found a dodgy solder joint and now it work fine when its turned off but when its running its getting some serious interfearance, anyone got tips to isolate the system?

Fitted an AEM wideband to this auxiliary connector on the MS2.

Wideband in a convienient spot for tuning, it wouldnt last long here in a 400 at the crank car like this so it will be used strictly for tuning.

Fitting the gauge to the very left hand vent for road tuning, its pretty hard to watch a gauge in a car that spins 4th gear to the limiter so this is for me. thats the final vent gone, water temp, oil pressure, boost and air fuel.
