Brett I'm not talking about the downpipe to the turbo, cuz yeah those are all studs (and one or two of them are a real PITA); I meant the air pump hose to the downpipe.
The top one is the sheared off one, if I just remove the bottom one and pull the air pump hose off I should be able to get a set of vice grips on it I hope. Then just need a new bolt and the blocking plate.

In other news . Saw some progress yesterday . Turbo has ended up lower and it clears the firewall without any pounding.
Wastegate is in position.
Routing of pipes to turbo sorted .
Engine mount sounds like it's going to look like a spaghetti meal gone wrong ..... Fabricator said it was "doing his head in" . But he likes a challenge so I think he is a good man for the job.

Hard to tell what's going on with that manifold from that view, any chance you took a shot looking in from the wheel well or up from underneath it? Is that unwelded joint the front and rear exhaust runners meeting up?

Very much so, I let the fact that it is twin scroll slip my mind for a moment there! Haha
I have to agree with Logalinipoo, looking pretty low, looks like there isn't much room between the oil drain plug and the manifold in that first pic?

Not really, in the first pic the chra is clearly shown to be well above the oil pan
What concerns me is I don't see how they held the elbows out of the exhaust flange so tight to the engine while still allowing the full elbow radius (especially the rear one). It appears like the elbows were short cut to fit that tight, which is not going to flow well at full tilt if they were. Can't tell accurately from the pics though.

Yeah the drain from the CHRA should be fine. The piping is low, but your car is not super low so it should be fine. From the pics as it sits, it looks like fabbing the downpipe might be tough, that firewall will need some massaging.

I also meant the header piping.... considering a runner from the Siamese port still needs to fit in there somewhere with an EWG and tie into the downpipe which I am assuming will run even below the header piping shown in the picture already?

There is a clear passage for the WG to DP pipe beside the turbine housing . He is reluctant to use it due to the proximity to the water lines on the CRHA . There is very little room underneath though , so it might be the only option .
