Angry HELP! Down pipe problem

Hi everyone,

I've got a blobeye and I'm trying to fit my down pipe but it just won't fit I've got a 10mm gap on one side of the turbo housing and its touching the steering rack but no down pipe has fitted properly since I changed the turbo to a vf34 and put a Harvey pipe on it.

Any help would be great as I've got the point of breaking something!

Sounds like you need to loosen the turbo and uppipe and uppipe bracket off and realign it all and move it over slightly. After i installed a 3" downpipe on to my Md turbo i had to do the same as it was catching the steering column under load.
