reinstalling the twins

[terror]

ive been battling these things for the past week, i have them all put together and i cant manage to get them on the car and i wanted to know whats the best way to get them on
i cant seem to get them on as a whole because the manifold wont clear the studs, should i put the manifolds on first then the turbos? thanks

I removed a few of the inboard exh. studs & the inner studs for the 'Y' pipe. then cut a 1/4" from each of the removed exh. studs and a bit more from the bottom 'Y' pipe studs. Cleaned all studs on a wire wheel and used alum. grease to allow hand tightening on all. Still had to curse abit, but it did go with stock gaskets and I had to use a ratchet boxend wrench to tighten. Forget about torque specs. don't think it's possible on most of the bolts. Beer helps.
