bah, found a rust hole under the inner sill ahead of the rear jacking pointgrr
exactly same on the other side, simple weld on plate job for local welder
after looking at afew pics of the turbo setup when i was disassembling it, i figured out that the turbo air outlet was actually suppose to go straight down, across behind the turbo exhaust and then forward into the intercooler.
previously thought it went forward, across the front of the turbo and into the intercooler
so this would resolve the issue of the air outlet conflicting with the edge of the radiator
using and aircon version alternator mount & bracket to extend the alternator so its not pushing against the turbo oil feed pipe
wastegate actuator feed tis like this. i'll be fitting a tight 90deg bend to the turbo inlet to go up, across over the top of the manifold and into the pod filter at the empty RH of the bay
air outlet piping clos to the oil drain
rough pipe layout
