                A hell of a project you got there, really loving it.

                Was just wondering if you got it tuned yet ?

                By the look of the angle you put the waste gate pipe, the exhaust will have to turn over 90 and maybe even 120 degree. I'm thinking you might get some boost creep.

                This might be less of of a problem if your aiming for 20 psi or more, since less air has to escape by the wastegate, but could cause you problem if your trying to keep the psi low. Some manifold company use 2 waste gate to solve this problem.

                Really hoping I'm wrong and your tuning goes smoothly.

                Now let see a video and hear this car running.

                P.S. I like the old style wheel and all, but thrust me if this is anything like the antique I have driven or raced against please look into updating the steering and the brakes. At the very least consider it. (just look for mustang II front end, they're really popular upgrade for older car, you can even buy it in 1 piece like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUSTANG-II-I...-/310809274100) I have a buddy with a 400hp duster with stock suspension and brake, over 160 km\h you can feel the car is unstable, anything over 200 km\h and he's all over the road. I won't even get started on the brakes, but it's your project and respect which ever decision you take, and hope others will too.

                  Thanks i think it looks different lol . Yes the car will be over 20 psi at all times and the shot to the waste gate its almost right above the header so its less than 90 degrees. ok but not near how i wanted it one of those times packaging vs function the packaging won out there isnt much room for anything .Once the roads dry up ill be out tuning it once i finish the tune for the supra and my xr4ti. As for brakes etc for now its staying this way for a lil while too many projects on the go this one is low on the list but it will eventually get a irs swap with mustang 2 swap up front (very aware of the kits out there) but it will be awhile the car will never make high speed high way runs its more of a fun daily driver that will destroy the tires at will and make ok mileage and be cool as hell . The plan was as raw of a driving experience as possible when a person want to beat on it but cruise down the highway fine .
