best way to check if the down pipe is correct is to look at yours, that pipe is meant to be for mid '89 onwards

In theory...it should be a later type then as the van is as late as they get....best just get the full exhaust ordered I reckon, and turbo studs+nuts, mounts, clamps etc...

Anytime I ever went near a down pipe on an old turbo I had stud issues - be careful!

There's no kit but all parts are available..those tailpipe bolts aren't renowned for being easy to get out..

Weld it if can get the MIG nozzle anyway near it, saves a lot of hassle...

Heat will help where +gas won't.

Let me know if you need help with that, but gave away my original TD exhaust years ago, sorry
