I think the 184 pipe will fit but I put a new gen BMW 204 pipe on. You’ll need the turbo to intercooler pipe from the 204 too. My current thread should have most of the info. I bought a 204 bracket to mount the turbo pressure converter too. You can’t mount it the same as on the 204 but I found the bracket worked.

The turbo is tight. I took mine out from below with the engine mount off.
