Hey, I'm looking for a few pictures of high mount turbo dump pipes, both installed and off the car. I want to fab up my own one, and I want an idea of what some are like beforehand, so a few pictures would be appreciated. Cheers, Rob

It goes where it goes! Buy/build a manifold, fit turbo, make dump pipe, done!

My dump pipe was made with the manifold and turbo on the car. Plenty of room underneith for the screamer but my dump pipe only just sneaks down between the manifold and firewall. About 5mm clearance in some spots lol. I wanted to go bigger than 3" but that's all I could fit.

if you go with a manifold that places the turbo further forward (like mine below) you'll have that much more space to work with. i had no problem fitting my dump/screamer in that space. dont really have a decent pic of the dump pipe off the car, though its pretty basic; Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers for the pictures, they're basically what I had in mind. I've already got all the gear on the car, and I've taken measurements to start welding one up, just wanted to make sure I've to all the right angles because it's a fairly tight fit for me.

Make sure you make it piece by piece, only choosing the next move/location after the previous is finalised, to make sure the finished piece can actually be installed in the car, rather than going off measurements
