FP evogreen SS race pipe fitment issue (PIC)

As you can see the pipe cannot be slid up any farther to meet the holes. The bend in the pipe hits the FP actuator? Anyone else have this issue? I am quite certain the pipe goes that way as it needs to point to passenger side to meet up with LICP. Pic has been sent to FP as well, I was wondering if I am missing something obvious...



Thanks!

does he have the stock or FP actuator? I think the giant head on the actuator is the issue!

im not sure ill ask him and see. i think he has an upgrade actuator if im not mistaken but im not sure if its the fp or the forge. did you buy the turbo w/ the upgraded actuator and the pipe or did you purchase the pipe separately??

Here is a pic of how the WGA and Turbo should be installed on the 20GLT aka Green.

Hope this helps you, my friend, .

1) what actuator you running, Alan678?
2) Is that the FP pipe or buschur pipe - rumored to be the same, but I wonder...

oh, I will - I am not bashing them. I respect Robert Young and have known him a long time - it definitely doesnt fit!

I did call. They said they were unaware and asked for pics! So, I sent to them. I was hoping I missed something. I wonder if it can just be spaced out a little with washers?
