I'm looking for a bit of advice with the down pipe/ Turbo exit pipe or whatever you like to call it.

I decided it was too risky so relocated the PDW and took the brake pipes out into the wing before bringing them back in lower down. Also ran a braided clutch pipe the long way round.

We did the same as Paul on Wintersurfer's side mount.

looks almost same position as mine although i got it a bit closer to the engine. and closer to the rear. just re positioned all the braking components away from it ( belgian car so maybe easier to move it all) you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

I found that a pair of 80 degree bends works just right, even at 2 1/4".

In belgian cars everething sits on the left side. And there is a bar for the later remote servos but it has a 1 to 1 ratio to the pedal. So maybe use one of these to move it all to the left. ( here it is to get the left side pedals work on the right hand side but posible to make it work other way around though. ) you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

And as for space. Im closer to the bulkhead then you are. So hope mine will be fine when running with adition of heat wrap. you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

Finally I’ve managed to finish Phase 1 of my remote turbo setup, so I thought I’d share a few pictures of how it ended up.

nice work Graham .looks mega. Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Great stuff 
What sort of ranges are you getting with the dual widebands and EGTs? Any correlation between the two? At the moment, AFR’s are all over the place. I’ve removed my original inlet manifold and modified a standard MPI manifold with only 630 cc/min injectors. Hence the limited boost. The design of the original inlet manifold, I think, was causing me to use some very odd injector timings and causing temperature related issues – I believe the angle of the injectors was tending to bias fuel delivery to the outer Cylinders whilst staged injection was off. I say I think, because until I get some decent road time, I’m not sure if the issues I experienced have gone away. Initial logging seems to suggest they have. The thermocouples have only been used up to now for monitoring the temperatures in the sample chambers. I’ve never actually monitored the exhaust gas temperatures directly in the manifold. The main reason the thermocouples were added was because I was eating my way singlehandedly through the UK stock of 4.9LSU’s. Turns out most of the issues with the LSU’s were related to the Innovate LC-2 controllers. Once I ditched them for the 14point7 controllers I’ve not had a single LSU failure – so far… The highest Temperature I have seen in the sample chambers with this new manifold is 242Deg C for the inner cylinders and at that moment the outer sample chamber was at 182Deg C. With the old exhaust Manifold the most I was seeing in the sample chambers was 250DegC, even at higher boosts. But I think I can account for the higher temperature in the sample chambers on the new manifold because I deliberately made the pipes from manifold to sample chambers shorter. I have LSU bungs in the main exhaust manifold branches to put the LSU’s directly in stream before turbo for testing, but before I do that, I intend on putting the thermocouple and pressure sensors into those bungs to get an understanding of the environment.
