Nice work....

You might want to consider a dump pipe heat shield to protect your a/c compressor.

I throw my a/c compressor away every two years on my turbo GC, I am using a GT2560BB with a similar style of dump pipe...I find that the pipe is too close to the back of the compressor and causes heating of the compressor and damages the seals...I used heat wrap tape, but it doesnt seem to be enough.
I was even thinking about going to the F2t manifold because of the tilt, in order to gain a few extra mm's......I never realised tho that the internal design is different.
I havent got a good photo of the clearance atm...but I can post one up soon..
