Those right angles would be disastrous for flow.

I have seen worse than this on an exhaust manifold though. I can't get pics i'll just have to describe it.

A guy here bought a 1600 with a 351W. Anyway he put a single turbo in the very front corner of the engine bay, and made an exhaust manifold that ran from one side of the motor, across in between the front of the motor and radiator and into the turbo.

I wish I could show you pics its a classic!! The turbo was nearly twice the size of a Trust T88 i swear.

Needless to say this car did not run well...

You wouldn't have bought it if you checked it out...

It barely ran at all...not registerable...just a waste of a good datto really.

The idea was there just not well executed.

Just a warning...never, ever, ever buy anything from this guy.

He charges people for work on their cars, and he's not licensed in any way. A few young foolish people have been caught out and lost a heap of money when their car is destroyed by this butcher
