The manifold is not done yet i stil have to weld the wastegate on.

No, looks fine to me. Is it touching the manifold? Cause unless its gona be rubbing it badly, then there really is no problem, though everything should be moving together so that wouldn't really be an issue either I wouldn't think. Mine sits in a similar position, in fact I only have about a 1/4 inch clearence beside the manifold. Looks good though, what kind of turbo did you say that was?

Yeah that should be fine, a lot of hybrid turbos on Fcs are directly touching the manifold. Mine is https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png I plan on getting some of that heat shield matterial and wrapping the LIM.

I think it is too close and the fuel line also.
On the fuel line: You might have trouble with vapor lock on hot days. I would say the Turbo is too close. It's still going to run, but you will be heating up the air in that passes through that aluminum intake manifold and thus increasing the air temp, reducing or removing any effect your intercooler is doing. |
Yea I would try moving your regulator over to the driverside more than have the fitting go straight down and then another striaght to the fuel rail.
