Borg Warner S259 fitment.

I am going with an s259 setup on my 08 SS... Just curious of the clearance of the wastegate. It's a tial mvr 44. Any one done this setup that can tell me if I will have any rubbing or clearing issues?? Thanks!

It fit fine on my friends lsj. But Idk about lnf. Doesn't look to be much room back there.

Definitely not a ton... I figured I would definitely have a problem with the standard Tial 44... I just just want to make sure before I pull the trigger on the turbo.

Id say you'd be fine. As far as clearance, the MVS clears just fine on my manifold. The MVR isn't a whole lot bigger as they are both watercooled wastegates.

Depending on which manifold you use (zzp I'm assuming), you might need to watch out for the wastegate rubbing on the coolant line that runs along the firewall from the driver's side of the engine bay.

We run Tial V44 and Precision 46s often. The MVR is a little smaller than V44, so it should be fine. The AC line that runs through that area can easily bend out of the way if it is too close.

Ok awesome, that was my plan so good to know. Once again I appreciate the help!
