Ok guys Im running a D16Z6 and my goal is, 300hp, my only problem is that I wanted to keep my AC and because the cast iron manifold " STR-TM" and the 3" down pipe that Im building I don't see it happen, hardly any space unless there is a 3" tubing with a radical bend that can fit in there. Just got a J/U 3" bend from vertex industries but I don't think it would work. Still have to mess with it, Is anybody going to the same fitment issue? This is the cast iron manifold that Im using:

It suppose to be A/C compatible, maybe with a smaller down pipe but my turbo is kind of big and it uses 4 bolt flange that its 3" wide. I was planning on running 3" all the way from the turbo to the muffler. Is there a 4 bolt cast iron down pipe piece that I can use from another car just so that I can fit it in the tight space, I really want to keep my A/C other wise It wouldn't feel like a street car.
Can some one help me out pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!! If I don't have any choice I guess I will kiss my a/c good bye, but I really want to keep it. I will try to take pictures later and post them.

Sorry about that, see if you can cut and paste to see if it works. anyway I have decide not to run my A/C after all. It seems that a 3" down pipe will not clear the way so im going another way. I will post pictures of my set up as soon as possible.
thanks for your reply
