Position of dowpipe

[europeanme]

Finally starting to get my exhaust sorted out, it has been mentioned that the DP/ exhaust manifold arrangement for a standard S2 turbo is different to a RS2/upgraded turbo & EM.

Does anyone know what the difference is between these??....i.e. is it better to allow for the DP to be further back (towards the bulkhead) to allow extra space for a new EM & Turbo or have a thicker flange on the DP so that the extra space can be taken up with a new flange/wider turbo at a later date.

I am slowly getting things sorted on my avant but don't relish the thought of doing the same job twice with double the costs....I would rather build the upgrade into the job now ready for next year's updates....

Thanks for any suggestions/tips/help...

They are the same, flange on the RS2 is in the same position as the S2

This link made me a tad nervous??...so when I upgrade my turbo there should be a little room to manoeuvre...even with a different manifold...possibly an RS2 one without having to have another DP made/altered.....
