the turbo flange position on my passenger side on the SSautos was off (wrong angle front to back , turbo would have been tipped back about 10*) and the lower passenger side hole position on the header didnt allow enough clearance for the stud to extend without hitting the pipe or get a nut on to attach the turbo ,
the turbo flange location and angle is critical to maintain the DP clearance so I built a simple jig using a stock passenger header as the guide and then fit the ebay header with the flange cutoff in it , did some fitting and reforming of the header for bolt clearance , then brought the whole thing to a local welder ,
one obstacle down ,
no one has said there were any issues with the driverside manifold and now i can bolt up the passenger side with turbo and attach the downpipe so all thats left is for the new vband clamps to arrive and see what needs to be done to get the crossover to work
