My buddy Kevin came down and showed me how to use the line bender.....turned out great, so now there is PLENTY of room for the turbo pipe! there are 2 power steering lines that where in the way, a long one and a short one....so we moved the long one to where the short one was and that gave us plenty of slack to rebend out of the way.....so know I just got to get 1 line extended 14 inches! i got one spot where the up-pipe is hitting the oil pan, so i just have to ding that section in with a hammer to gain some clearance!

fabbing is done! after getting it done, i took all the pipes off and grinded down the tack welds.......now i got to get a different welder (mig) so i can weld everything solid....hopefully tomorrow....then they all go off to get ceramic coated!
while they are out getting coated,im sending the turbo off to have it checked out and rebuilt if needed....
