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!

I know that classic downpipes are shorter Than newage.
I found out the hard way.ha ha.

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.

Ye thanks bud I did do that after I had calmed down and actually thought about it!
Will be fitted this week hopefully as I had to get a sti column joint from mattyb because my wrx one is too fat! :)
