Nope, just flipped one. I used two passenger side manifolds.

So, one facing foreward and one facing back? If that is the case I would guess that the drivers is facing foreward and maybe the exhaust from the passenger side comes around the back of the engine and dumps into the other manifold or joins it by a y-pipe very close to the turbine inlet.

I sure would like to get your car on a hoist and just look around!

Thanks for the continuing info by the way.

That would be awesome! I am sure your y-pipe strategy is going to be difficult to get good photos of, but any and all are gladly appreciated.

I don't suppose you have the specs on the turbo you are using or link a page with the specs?
