Yet another build that seems to be coming along very nicely.

Looking good, Patrick.....you need some more of that purple throughout the engine bay, though!

Nice custom downpipe flange! Just like Akoutmos said - it's similar to the way he has his done. Can't wait to see outcome.

Are you going to recirculate it down at a point lower on the downpipe? If so, I hope your exhaust is 3". 2.5" may be too restrictive if you are going to route it back into your exhaust.

For now its just going to come off the turbo at a ninety and go up through the hood. Once its tuned i'll be driving it to an exhaust shop to have a downpipe made. I'm not sure if i'll run a three inch downpipe though cause my exhaust is 2.5 inch and the outlet on the turbo is 2.5inches.

^ +1. Another thing is, if it's angled upward then it's at risk for debris getting inside. You don't want a sink-pipe kink of sh*t to develop there. There's no reason to route it upwards or outwards. Just angle it toward the ground so it dumps down.
