Even with my adapter.
Cool, because that's how I ended up doing it.

Got the crossover to turbo bolts in too, had to loosen EVERYTHING from the exhaust manifolds to half way back on the exhaust system.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I don't know how I would do all this crap without Rennlist.

Everyones talking about having trouble with the factory turbo mounting screw so i figured i would share how i do it with the factory bolt. Take an ordinary allen wrench and cut as much as you can off the short end while still having something to grab into a bolt, then turn the wheel a little till the u joint moves enough to get the wrench on. It's worked for me on a few of these cars.
