    I'm curious, what turbo is that and how does it compare to the holset?

    Here is how I did the piping if anyone was wondering.. (the bracket that supports the air filter has an exhaust clamp at either end supporting the ally pipe.)
    His is a holset, same as yours. Hx30w

    new radiator

    Ive got my new radiator fitted, custom built by ARE cooling Brendal, QLD.

    I'm very happy with the quality of this product.

    The new core is deeper than standard (76mm vs old 56mm I think) to compensate for the reduced width. It's even got a filler plug woohoo!
    The water inlet and outlets were made to be relativley in the same place as the original radiator, and the brackets make it line up to the same forward location as the original rad.
    I managed to get away with trimming 25mm off the fan shroud to match the original fan to shroud spacing.

    The Idea was to reduce the width to allow 2.5" pipe past each side of the rad for a front mount intercooler.

    Interesting idea, any reason you didn't just take the IC piping through the fenders like most people?

    That radiator does look sexy though...

    Yeah, I didn't want to cut up my fenders, and it would have made a mess with the headlight surrounds etc, I think this is a neater solution.

    I'm revisiting this because I currently have the head off doing a gasket job.

    I'm trying to figure out how you've fit the snail in, but you've got a spacer there with the EGT gauge right?

    I'm looking at the same issues.

    My approach ATM is to flip the manifold the other way up (I think it will mount both ways), the turbo is the same height but you get a bit more lateral distance from the engine block.

    Other option is to grind some material off the manifold (obviously depending if there is sufficient thickness where the interference is).

    Scrap that. It doesn't quite fit the other way up - exhaust ports don't line up.

    I'm looking at grinding a couple of mill off the outside of the manifold. It's the bit with the raised rib that fouls, and it's not by much. Even including the turbo to manifold gasket will make a difference. There seems to be sufficient material in that spot.
