He found all the piping needed for his charge pipe in a dumpster.
Turbos need a section of flex pipe (on the exhaust) because of the heat and engine movement. It will go manifold to turbo to cat to flex pipe to rest of the exhaust. If you don't have a flex pipe between the turbo and the rest of the exhaust the exhaust manifold will crack.

Yes i am doing mandral bend everywhere intake plumbing and the exhaust is all manderal already.

O yea can't decide to mount the turbo up or down. it will have to be were the molselman kit puts it or in front of the motor. im thinking the first one because of making the down pipe will be easier. but then it would be easier to work on, having the turbo high.
