Here is Vic and I Trying To figure out where the other parts are going to go. |
 |
After picking our route and spacing for the waste gate we decided it was best to run the wastegate back to the exhaust its a street car. |
 |
The 1 1/2" Ubend Pipe we started cutting and welding. |
|
Here is the Wastegate mounted on the cross over pipe in place of the stock coolant overflow bottle. Its a 46mm Ebay Wastegate. |
|
Looking Down on the Turbo Oil Return, we cut a hole into the frame rail of the car and ran it directly to the oil pan. |
 |
Now the wastegate pipe has been tacked togather and marked out onto the 3" downpipe. |
 |
After scribing the hole and cutting it slightly smaller than we needed we test fit it again. |
 |
The Flex Coupler has shown up now and we completed the cross over section and merged it into the passanger header. |
 |

 |
One of the hardest parts of pipe to make was the merged section from the round to the t4 flange. here is a good picture of the pipe. |
 |
Going from 3.5" Downpipe to 3" and merging in the wastegate pipe. Vic is a dang fine welder. This was his first try at this type of stuff. |
 |
The Turbo is all mocked up and tacked in place the final welds are getting ready to be done. |
|
Starting on the cold side we made a couple brackets up and mounted the 3.5" Treadstone intercooler into its new home. |

Bit of cleaning and grinding on the pipes. |

Lots of clearance from the crank and swaybar everything is working out well for us. |
