im ditching my probe project and changing my ZE over to a mX3
so where are the clearance issues with his pipes?

the problem with the ones on ebay is :
the piping doesn't extend as high as it should be, therefore the turbo can't sit on the piping because it's hiting the "frame" of the car (engine bay is smaller than in the probes), you have to extend it by around 2 inch IIRC.
The down pipe won't fit at all since you're lifting the turbo around 2" from where it should be, and the DP as so much twist and turns, you basically have to redo it all.

What "itd" means ?

ok well thats a simple fix for anyone who can halfway weld, and im a pretty good welder so why couldnt you just add the 2" in some easy areas such as my PS:
red lines are where i cut the pic and moved each section up approx 2"

I guess that could work out BUT the red lines on the DP is actually curved and not straight like the pics is suggesting so it ain't easy as it looks.
Oh and I also rotated the angle of the inlet flange so that makes it again harder to fit the DP

hmm, i can do this
ill get back at ya in about a month wheni get back home and started
