Twin turbo header problem
I've got a problem with the steering shaft not clearing the header. I have bought a twin turbo kit from HP performance in New Mexico and I don't think they realised there was a difference between a two wheel drive truck and awd. Nathan from HP performance Has asked if there is anyone in New Mexico , Roswel, 301 E 4th st who has a Awd chevy and would be willing to drop by their shop so they could take a look and maybe help them to sort this problem out. It would be much appreciated if anyone could help with this.
Thanks Ivan
This is the problem
Nathan or Jimmy on 505 623 2555

It doesn't look like it's TOO far off, I think if you heated up that pipe and gave it a bit of a tap tap taparoo with a ball peen hammer, it would make enough room. But, if I had headers that nice, I wouldn't want to beat on them either.

Ivan,
If HP Performance is willing to work it out with you by building you another header I would go that route. Maybe someone will chime in thats close to HP and help out... but, IMO, if you told HP what you had to begin with then its THEIR responsibility to find another truck to build the header on and fix it for you. Hold their feet to the fire until they do. I sure hope to hell you used a credit card. I can imagine, living in the UK, you paid a alot of money for the kit as well as being bent over on shipping costs...
Good Luck,
Bill

They have/ are building another header, but say they are having a hard time finding someone with an awd truck to work with to make sure they have got things right. Yes I did tell them what I had to start with and your right it is their responsibility to find another truck. Just trying to speed things along a little by trying to find someone with a truck close by willing to help out.
$/£ exchange rate as been good for us brits of late, thats one of the reasons I'm doing this build now but we always get hit by duty anything from about 5%to 22% depending on what it is and value added tax 17.5%.
Thanks
