Aftermarket downpipe?

Havin a hard time trying to find a Downpipe for a turbo GSLSE S5. I will need the one that relocates the turbo forwards to clear the powering steering Res etc.. I heard someone makes them ready to bolt on? I will be using the stock turbo for now.
Anyone know who makes them?

I am under the impression that the stock S5 downpipe won't work.

Are you looking for a downpipe or a manifold...the manifold determines the location of the turbo, not the downpipe. I am running a Racing Beat 3" DP in my S4 TII swapped GSL-SE with no P/S.

so i need a different manifold to make the turbo clear the P/S hmm. so let me rephrase my question lol, where do i find a bolt on exhaust manifold that will clear the turbo from the P/S on a SE with a S5?

Is buying a manifold the only way? or is there another option?

So you need a different manifold? Will most likely have to be a custom manifold due to the fact their are very few TII swapped FBs, let alone power-steering FBs with TII swaps.

So maybe an option would be too remove the P/S stuff and run the rack manual or get a man rack. But that would be kinda shitty because i like the GSL-SE for the P/S. I could have sworn i heard of a bolt on manifold to keep the P/S in an SE for a turbo swap.

The only way this makes any sense to me is if you have a RHD car, which you haven't mentioned. If it is RHD, you might check the aussie forum, they deal with RHD, where we don't have a need to.

That was anti-climatic. Glad you got things cleared up.
