This is the Hass, now Turbokits setup in terms of manifold, turbo, intercooler and downpipe at the very least. Only problem is you did not do the manifold correctly and it will warp and pull the studs near ports 1 & 4 out.

Here is what I did over 2 years ago:

Look closely at the larger stud near port 4 - I had to drill, tap and helicoil that hole after using the manifold you are using. If you bought it from Turbokits I am disappointed, as I told them exactly how to do it the way depicted below and they sent me a prototype that works fine.

and here is the way the manifold needs to be done:

Search my username for other tips unless you really enjoy re-doing things that have been done before.
