That's a good idea of clamping rubber on it. I'll probably just drill lower to be safe.

Now here's a new problem. I started to do the basic turbo setup on my current engine tonight and got the carb and manifolds off. Test fitted the pipe and I have a big problem. I don't have any way to get the uppipe to be where I need it without almost making a straight 90 degree angle out of the manifold to get it over the frame rail. My only other option besides that is running a very long tube under the frame rail. So would the 90 degree angle (can't really even be a bend) or the very long tubes be ok?
