KUQEFH update

[Glen Powell <gpowell@acacianet.com>]

In our immensely large universe who would have though that two pieces
of matter would require occupying the same physical space at the same
instant in time within an area as small as my ur-q's engine compartment?
Just think of their relative size! I must be Very Important indeed.....

It may be partly due to the upset in the earth's gravitational field due to
the close proximity of the Heil Boop. (clicking heels with right arm
extended in an upward direction)

This was all overcome and the stock ur-q downpipe and OEM 2-piece
exhaust manifold are now happily coexisting. (thought for a while that
I might need my pudding and identical black Nikes - JUST DO IT!)

The interference was between the clamp that joins the 2 pieces of the
2-piece and the downpipe tube, the outer diameter of the flange where the
tube of the downpipe attaches to the flange and the front piece of the
2-piece, and both pieces of the 2-piece immediately in front of and
behind the clamp and the downpipe tube.

I dimpled the downpipe tube, ground the casting flash off the 2-piece
immediately in front of and behind the clamp and also ground a flat
on the large diameter of the downpipe flange. The dimpling is not too
severe, is certainly lass than the restriction of the manifold and is also
less that the restriction in the as-stock downpipe that the factory does
to provide clearance for the nuts that attach the downpipe to the turbo.
The dimpling is also mostly on the inside of the bend where impact to
flow is much less than is would be elsewhere.

I would like to thank the following people, friends and non-friends:

Mr. Much F. N. Patience (NOT a good friend of mine)
Mr. Bernz O. Matic and his cousin
Ms. Red Hot Stainless
Mr. Two L. B. Hammah
Mr. Joe Grinder and the
Miscellaneous Random Files brothers.

More updates to come as the engine goes back in (again).
