I had my car lined up to sell but the turbo manifold had some cracking which happened right before I went to sell it. I bought a new manifold, it's a different layout but cast iron. The downpipe isn't able to fit, it's hitting the bottom of the oil pan/block. Anyone have any recommendations on how I can get a downpipe working on my car? I'd hate to buy one and not have it line up.

I went from this style manifold:

To this:

It holds the turbo assembly slightly higher. I just want to get my car running so I can get it sold. I want something stock with A/C to drive to work.

Thanks,
Jon

 

Get the downpipe cut and have an extension welded in to lengthen it..

 

So I probably need to buy a couple inches of piping?

 

Yes. You can probably buy it by the foot, as long as you know what material it is and what the outside diameter and wall thickness are.

 

Thanks for the advice.

Anyone know of a shop in the Stafford/Woodbridge/Fredericksburg area?
