So still completing the motor and the heads. But in the mean time, i have been working on all the piping for the turbo kit. the y pipe from the FF headers is nearly complete just need to wait for the motor to be done, put all the pullys, belts tubes, on and make sure my ff headers clear everything then i will weld on the flanges to complete the y pipe to the turbo
As seen ive purchased the 38mm tial wastegate, tomaro i am finishing the piping to the wastegate and the dump pipe off it running along the exhaust out.
On most turbo builds ive seen everyone just done a down pipe off the turbo. Which in my opinion yes it does put no back pressure on the turbo equaling more power, but in a friend of mines build his down pipe causes his transmission to heat up and heats up the engine bay alot.
For my kit im deleting the AC (all of it) and routing my exhaust back through where the ac compressor was and routing it back into the 3 in deleted cat back. This is how it is coming out so far, im going to finish it tomaro.
Welding the 3 inch pipe to the 3 1/4 v band
Then as you can see in this picture i did a u bend off the v band, went straight to the passenger frame and tomaro will put a 90 degree bend to point it towards where the ac compressor was then rout it back into my old exhaust.
I plan on putting a electric cut out where the cat use to be and put a down pipe off out the passenger side of the car, to free up some horse power with the push of the button.

Cutouts really don't give you more power from what I've noticed with mine. My car actually feels stronger with it closed, but doesn't sound near as good.

say huh?
took me reading that like ten times to start to understand it. are you just saying most people stop at a down pipe for more power, but you have a have friend doing a turbo build and having an open down pipe made his transmission hot?
A open down pipe doesn't mean more engine heat depends where its directed.

A cutout will relieve backpressure in the exhaust. You don't lose power by having less backpressure - it just moves up the powerband.

exactly, but most (down pipes from where we mount our turbos on our cars means it has to pass by the engine to go out the back in that heating the trans and engine a bit
Unique, I have a project for ya. Get a cutout that opens and closes with the throttle to keep your car in the power band through more of the RPMS. I saw a vette like that someone posted here.
