[QUOTE="EskimoPie, post: 1505208, member: 19474"] Thanks for all the comments guys. Got basically zero feedback over on ps.org. Yes, fore arms are all scraped up from reaching up the fender well. Yes, chest is sore from laying on the engine. Yes, I probably was looking for a little hand holding. Appreciate the advice. I was concerned looking at the passenger exhaust manifold that I was going to have to pull up all the coolant and other lines at the front of the motor, turns out the manifold was an easy R&R after the turbo was out. I was on cloud nine, thinking things were going great. Got the old turbo out, manifold swapped, new up pipes in, new turbo back in... Then I got underneath and tried to connect the drivers side up pipe to the back of the turbo. No go. I've got about a half centimeter gap there and for the life of me, I can't get the new V-band clamp on. I've had the turbo in and out 4 times now, taken off the up pipe and remounted it. Same problem. At this point I'm convincing myself the up-pipe is out of tolerance although I know how improbable that is. This is when I was feeling like there was a light at the end of the tunnel: [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180221/1f4ac09b63183886ba8bcccf554f6708.jpg[/IMG] This is what I'm beating my head against: [ATTACH=full]175213[/ATTACH] I've tried ratchet straps, lifting the up-pipe up, tried wiggling the turbo and completely R&Ring everything. Basically just feels like the pipe was built a little too short. Drivers side manifold never came off and I can't believe the turbo is out of tolerance. I can't flex the expansion joint enough to get the clamp to close. Help. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
