ok guys i just thought this up and i want you to tell me if its possible, could you possibly mount a turbo on your downpipe. I ask because most log manifolds have a hole for a wastegate which i dont need, because my turbo has an internal wastegaste. So does this sound possible to yall it sounds about the easiest way for me to put my turbo on, idk it may be a dumb idea but it doesnt sound that bad to me

They have blockoff plates for them, but there is little to no room for an internal wastegate. Your alternator gets in the way of downpipe. I tried it because my turbo came with one, but I had to go external. Also There is even less room below the header, because of the ac and the motor mount.
