   Just doing final spanner checks and cleaning bits up before fitting my vtr engine, im running a dp turbo kit and downpipe, im running this setup with an ma gearbox.
   
   Has anyone had issues with the downpipe being VERY close to one of the driveshafts going into the gearbox?

   The only people I know are on the J4 engine, so the problem will be different on the 8v Id imagine due to different port spacing resulting in a slight different design.
   
   although it might be worth pming dean, saxmad88 iirc. Even though he has the BE it has bellhousing for the TU

   Was thinking this when i posted, all the cars running Dp kits are using BE boxes, so they couldn't really help, a phone call / email to dp i think!
