I'm desperate for suggestions on resolving this bloody issue.
As some of you may know I did an engine swap in my LCR and this entailed taking the complete engine, engine mounts and downpipe amongst other things from a donor vehicle.
The donor had no problems with knocking or vibration and I certainly dont recall seeing any issues with clearance when I stripped it all down

So I now have everything transferred but I simply can't get my head around this downpipe hitting the firewall and steering rack.

It's as if the whole lot is over to far to the drivers side and sitting too high which makes no sense as I've used all the parts from the donor.

Parts include:

Mamba K04 hybrid turbo
Relentless Pro4 manifold
Milltek 3" downpipe

I've tried shifting the engine over on the slotted mounts but it barely made a difference.

Any ideas?

I’m not sure if there will be any movement on the joints if you loosen them and move the exhaust or turbo or the manifold if not may just have to bend the heat shields to give a little more space but put the exhaust on all it’s mounts then try and give it a wiggle to see if it will clear everything that’s all I can think off sorry
