Pictures of where you grinded

Those with the TSI kit I'd like to see where you grinded at on the manifold and/or connection from the turbo to the downpipe... to compare where I grinded mine. (If yall have any pictures could you post them) Everyone tells you where they grinded ((On the Drivers side)) but pictures would be a lot more helpful for a comparison and to those wanting to get that Kit later on.

Thanks,
Shaun

I took this pic like a week ago, You can see the wheel, and it grinds just on the right of that. See the bolt in the middle of the pulley? that one.

I need some new piping. for the drivers side. I may redo all of it, but maybe not yet. I just need a few hundred to get a couple crappy pipes made. such a ripoff.

That sucks more of a hassle than it needs to be....you couldn't bend the pipe that you already have a little?

we tried to bend the pipe the night we were installing, and it got warped. It turned blue/melted/caught on fire, lol. it was pretty cool.

nah, it wasnt running lean. just wont save my settings in the ICU. In the next couple weeks, I hope to have an eManage though.

Its running awesome though, possibly a little rich. It backfires in 1st and 2nd at high rpms/boost. Drives very nicely though.
