So I am starting to run out of things to do on this turbo install and figured it was time to take care of the task I have been procrastinating on...the downpipe to belhousing bracket and clamp.
bolted up the bracket with a fresh drilled hole and just as I predicted, the clamp positioning is way off.
This wouldn’t be an issue without the blanket, but with the blanket already installed, there is very little movement of the clamp. There is no way I am going to remove the pipe as it took some finagling to get it right the first time.
After struggling with this two nights ago I decided to give my LX and I some time apart to cool off, came back at it this morning with a different approach. This time I unwired the bottom 4 cleats on the blanket, creating enough room to move the band clamp around.
All bolted up and re-wired... now onto the Cat.
