ok thanks
I measured everything up and remeasured a few times to make sure all my measurements are correct because it is a bit hard to measure the space accurately and according to my sketch I have enough room for the turbo with sufficient space between it and the fire wall enclosure
I also positioned the turbo in relation to a cylinder head I have for muck up to make sure the position of the flange is correct and it looks good to go. just not sure about the internal bypass valve it looks like its getting in the way of the valve cover a bit, but nothing i cant work out.
got some parts in before the weekend, a set of inconel cold rolled turbo studs with a set of stage 8 nuts and lockers to make sure the turbo stays connected with a proper seal under high boost.
also received the Innovate wide band and a few fab parts.
I should start working on the exhaust manifold next week now that i have all the parts in
