It is only being moved back by about 1/2": so its not a huge difference for the downpipe, however the up pipe is built into the header with a flex joint so it allows for some give.


yeah feeling F stock location right about now!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable xmas / holidays, apart from dealing with the nightmare known as UPS some more progress has been made..........


The turbo is now fitted, new brackets have been made to secure it in place. Custom made a 3" inlet and fabricated all the fittings exactly so fitment is good. Also had to make new turbo hoses for the wastegate etc, the old ones were too small lol.


Also installed the injectors, intake manifold, set the timing belt, installed fuel lines, cam covers etc. Only thing I am having an issue with is the turbo oil feed line. Now with the DOM3XTR I have it came with the STI oil line which does not fit the nipple on my steel lines. On Blouch's website they show a WRX oil line but it has the round banjo bolt style fitting on the end. Where exactly does that fit the block? I know there are a few areas but do you have to cut the hard lines and plug it off???


Any help appreciated!


More pics.....










Just finishing the install of my Walbro fuel pump today then just get the oil line fixed and we are ready to go!!


Oh also got my new used Rotas lol......


Might not stay this colour though and obviously the coils are not set properly yet.....
