yeah, I had quite a space issue, and could not get a good downpipe in there without removing whatever that thing is called, expansion joint/bellows ect.
It seemed like a clever solution at the time, but could certainly be the cause of all the damage. Worth remembering from now on for me. The idea originally with the hard mount was to provide the second support bracket that was missing from removing the bellows thing from the turbo, but that took no account for expansion at all.
Picasso like drawings are the result of being left handing and drawing in paint with my right hand on a computer, glad you like them!
