Separate up pipe or no?

I've been doing some studying on putting my turbo on and I believe I got it figured out except for the up pipe. Would I be better off separating it or trying to put it in with it still together.

Its a used kit that has the y pipe and up pipe still together.

Several people have posted problems getting the up pipe to seal again after seperating them.
No gasket, just an interferance fit.

But the bad part, the firewall, heater box and head are so close, the only way to get them in there without pulling the motor or jacking the cab up is seperate them.
