looking good, do your exhaust outlets aim 10 degrees up and out? or are they straight forward?

10 out and up, don't think the render does it justice

Your diffuser needs more of an aerofoil shape I think

well at the moment its just a straight slant, and the vanes are just straight, rather than curving out (with them being straight makes them almost useless) you need to curve your diffuser, and curve the vanes outwards

i''ve curved the strakes in the diffuser slightly, is this what is meant?

Also i've added a shot of the exhaust exit, hope this shows the angle(s)

Not a bad start.
Why dont you re-shape the gearbox if your finding a solution hard?
