Will it clear the lower radiator hose on the driverside?

Re: FINALLY time for MY turbo build!

I was going to slant the pipe forward but couldn't because of headerbolt/stud positions. And I've seen a couple of others done like this so it can't be to bad.

I mean they'll work well enough. But it depends on how much power you really want to make.

i dont think im going to have any clearance issues, but wont be 100% til its back in the car. im definitely not going to construct the intermediate pipe until the motor is back in the car. im not looking for an all out race car. im sure ill be happy with what it will be able to do. hell, it might take more boost but im sure i could reach whatever power goal i wanted.

I'm sure you'll be fine , mines boosting like crazy even with the crazy 90 degree cuts on the pipe.

Re: FINALLY time for MY turbo build!

good deal! tomorrow, i'm gonna chop up the fuel rail and splice in my new injector connectors. still alot to do, hopefully the manifolds were the biggest hickup.

Re: FINALLY time for MY turbo build!

ok. well the fuel rail is modified and polished all pretty. i also painted the intake manifold. gonna solder the new connectors tomorrow. i want to do more and more since its out. can't wait for it to be done!

hahah little bit of sloppy welds :)

[thebeewantsboost]

Re: FINALLY time for MY turbo build!

well i do what i can

Re: FINALLY time for MY turbo build!

haha yeah, just saw alot of bubbles and gaps. what kinda mig you using?

[thebeewantsboost]

Re: FINALLY time for MY turbo build!

its a miller somethign.. my buddy actually did most of the welding. it can weld up to 5/16". the problem was, there were some gaps to fill... i'm definitely not a professional fabricator. i just wanted to get some manifolds done, so i could move on.

Re: FINALLY time for MY turbo build!

this restrictor was in the turbo, when i bought it. how do i know what size restrictor to use? what size return do i need... i've heard 1/2" ...
