your factory header flange is 3bolt (where the cat connected)? Am I missing something?
Mine were 4 bolt on my 16 ss a8 is there a difference? Maybe I'm seeing the picture weird |

these are truck manifolds. the stock headers were to low. I will get some pics the next time I have them off.

I looks like its coming together fairly easy for ya...
I guess playing around with custom on off turbo set ups for a while helps |

i have done maybe 10 set ups over the years. this is the first with a lift and it makes at so much nicer. it is coming together faster than i thought it would and so far i do not see any unsurmountable conflicts.
i think the cost will be right around $5k, maybe a little more if i do wastegate mufflers. this doesn't include any fuel system stuff or a meth kit and is non intercooled.

I need the extra fuel from the meth kit and I think the meth kit will make up for the intercooler. I might add one later.

I actually permanently bolted on a couple of parts. I am keeping as much of the heat shield as I can and wrapping everything. I added a little shield to the existing starter heat shield.

Got one turbo all prepped and put on the car, also made a little heat shield where the silicone coupling is close to the manifold.
