I bought the headers on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/230689852333?ss ... 649,Remove the flange, adjust to fit the piping, change the direction of the wastegate and weld back a copy of the exhaust gasket made of 5/8 stainless steel. Total cost will be around $750

Not a direct fit but it was close. I choose this one because it's the only one with the T3 flange close to cylinder #2.

What did you have to modify on the exhaust port side to make it fit?

When do you expect this to be up and running?

The piping was cut maybe one inche. It was try and error but now it fit. I have now to do the piping from the turbo to the exhaust system. After that, remove the engine and install the new one. I hope to try it in November before i put it away for winter.
