I am having issues, which could or could not be related to the Boost Logic pieces themselves, or could be another component.
I've never heard of fitment issues with these pieces so I expect that this is an isolated incident, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.
My setup:
94 TT 6-Speed
Greddy Exhaust Manifold
Precision 67mm Turbo
TiAL 44mm EWG (with vband to 4 bolt adapter bracket)
BL 4" Downpipe/Midpipe
HKS 4" Ti Catback
The results of this are that the end of the midpipe sits about 1.5" lower than where the catback begins, and it absolutely wont line up.
The front part of the midpipe is too high and hits the underside of the car, and the midpipe continues on a slight downward slope so that by the time you get to the back of it, its too low.
As far as downpipe fitment, it seems VERY tight, but it doesn't hit anything. It is about 1mm from the EWG and the bottom vband flange is very close to the firewall, but not touching. It seems like it would be more ideal if it had a little more clearance, especially since this leads to the midpipe hitting the underside of the car about 6" down the exhaust.
I have been talking to Boost Logic about this and they've been very helpful in trying to do what they could including sending me another downpipe to verify fitment, but unfortunately it fit exactly the same. I am absolutely not bashing Boost Logic in any way or blaming them for this... I am not sure what the issue is here, but I am trying to find out.
I'll include some photos in case anyone has any ideas. Hopefully I can figure this out soon and have a proper fitting exhaust so I can drive the car normally.
Thanks for any input or ideas...

EWG clearance
I did have it bolted up previously but had to use a bracket to lower the catback down to the level of the midpipe, resulting in TERRIBLE ground clearance to the point that it'd scrape the road over bumps!
Here are some photos of things from that...
Even with the catback lowered, the midpipe still touched the underside of the car slightly, as evidenced by melted undercoating on the midpipe when I removed it.
