New turbo downpipe idea's (pics inside)

[darrenjlobb]

Just use a 2.5" pipe and put crinks in it for the bolt areas...easily done in a vice with chisel, then just flat weld to the plate...ive done it before to give clearance for bolts etc on lots of things, not just manifolds..

Ahh see? If Darren says its ok then it's clearly not redneck enough.

[darrenjlobb]

Meh im a farmer, but as long as its tidy / wont fail its fine imo, both of which are the case here...you wont need to bend that much anyway, probs just enough to keep weld bead away from the bolt hole...

[cwspellowe]

Lol. I'm redneck to the core. I wouldn't have even asked if that was acceptable.

[strictly_perv]

That was my idea but f*ck it, red neck it what these XUD's are all about! Am I right?

[cwspellowe]

That's the spirit, bodge it and see if it makes silly boost.

f*ck doing things right.

[ozonehostile]

so not going gearbox mounted now? but if it fits down the back then fairplay, much cheaper and less hassle

[Piggy]

boost actuated vnt...surely it will be only on/off though....rather than variable?

[strictly_perv]

No change of plans, was hoping to get a mani but sale fell through. I would prefer a side mount but it's so much hassle ect.

Port the SHIT out of a K03 mani or a T2 and bring a pipe round, don't get hung up too much on length... As long as you can get it just over the gearbox, you'll be fine...
