Ok painting the bay was a mistake. Its been a big headache and pain in the ass and has taken a lot longer to get done than originally planned. Still isnt painted but hopefully it will be soon, by a shop, in their booth. I wish I didn't get into this at all but since I did I'll be damned if I don't at least have something to show for it.
But why I'm really here is to talk about how I just got my Greddy exhaust manifold in, and its awesome. I was afraid the Turbo wouldnt fit it at all, but it does barely. Very little clearance between turbo compressor housing and manifold though, I am not able to clock the turbo down as much as I'd like so hopefully that wont lead to a clearance issue with the IC piping when in the car.
Anyway... pics...
