Yes mounting the turbo up gave me the room to run the exhaust down and under the truck.

The only problem I see is the exhaust heating up the hot discharged air even more...

Yea I ended up flipping the manifold as well, worked like a champ. Now the charger fits, but like I was talking to you about the dang waste gate is right in the road. Well tonight Im gona try and fab up a diffrent mount for the wastegate and trim down the rod that goes from the pin on the exaughst side and goes into the wastegates dyaphram. So hopfully that will be all well here in the next day or so. Then can finally mount the primary and plum the chargers.

well nothing really to report, got the hx mounted up and everything clocked were it needs to be. but unfornatly im waiting on the v band assemble for the outlet of the hx since holset figured they would make it a special size . but gona mess with getting the wastegate notched down tomaro.and makea mount to hold the s400 in place.

Stick with it.. Nothing ever fits the way you want it too.. I had to install and remove stuff several times before I was really happy with it.
