take it to a muffler shop, have it heated and bent just enough so it does not rub. should be like 10 bucks

I also have a 3" dp by spooling and it hit the oil pan, and I had to NOTCH my block for the turbo to clear.
I also cannot put a filter on my turbo because the slave cyclinder.
The dump tube also hit the downpipe.
I contacted Phil initially about the dump tube and he send me out a flange to space it which fixed the problem. Once I found out I had to notch the block and the downpipe hit the oil pan I emailed phil again and he never returned my email.

almost always you will have to notch your block some with a turbo install, you will find that some modding is a must when you do things to a car and motor that was never ment to be turbo

within 2 days might i add.
if you guys want. i could space it out like some other fabbers here and give you guys horrible ground clearance ..
as far as emails. i get about 20-40 emails/PM's a day its pretty difficult to get to all of them. some i read and try to remember to reply to later when im not coming home from a 40 minute drive from my shop to my house and 12 hours of work.
just hit me up. i take care of you guys

Re: (playahwitgame)
how did you make the oil pan work? wat did you do. i talked to my mechanic about it... there were two options. 1 heat the downpipe up and bend it a bit... but we are afriad it might make a crink from the heat.
2 to cut the down pipe add a small section.. and reweld.
any other ideas?
I assume Phil didn't get my emaill... no worries.. this should be a quick fix. He did a great job overall!!

Re: (sirguy01)
thats what he did for me, i sent it to him, he took a section of maybe like 2 inches and welded again. send it to phil. its his product and he definately takes responsibility if it doesent fit right. yea iw ould have been an easy fix for me too to just give it to a muffler shop but its the principle of the thing. he definately is great with his warranties
