Hey list, anybody know if i can replace the standard turbo outlet on my fj20
for another thats aims more rearward than the one i've got (Silvia RS-X i
think, turbo mounted close to engine), the three bolt flange is just about
on the rail and aims more towards the rail than backwards,,, any suggestions
much appriciated.
Cheers Craig.
