Ive come close to finishing up my build but my break lines touch my V-Band housing on the turbo. How can I find a way around this?

Do they make long ass stainless steel lines that I can just replace the ones that are getting in the way?

no but instead of doing all that bullshit, you can go to a hardware store/plumbing store and buy the right size hard lines, then bend your own

just a thought

Good luck with that.
I tried using a LHD master on my 180. The strut tower is right against the master cylinder, which makes it impossible to connect the brakelines.

Well whats the fastest and easiest was to approach this. I don't want to have to have another "project" over just over a damn brake line.

Well whether you want it or not you have another project.

Your turbo placement sucks. It's way too close to the brake lines. Expect rapid brake fade. You need to make custom lines to clear the turbo and you need to make a heatshield to keep your fluid not boiling and your resovior not melted.

The brake line that you need is the rear line. Luckily it has a fitting on the passenger's side framerail by the bottom of the firewall where you can un-screw it. Take that section of hardline out and find someplace that can make a braided one for you. Make sure to let them know that you need a 90* fitting where it comes off the master. Unfortuanetly the bend is too close to the fitting for you to be able to bend the line that you have without kinking it...

I think I'm going to order a different manifold with the flange rotated. This ones flange is parallel to the motor. Would that work?
