There mounted solidly and don't snap or fatique crack?

I would expect more from a Moderator.
Calling People Names? I think that is against the "Rules of TurboDodge.com".

So consider this a warning. Next time it is a ban.

I was only talking about how pulses strike the turbine blade, not how the motor makes actual hp. People were talking about using divided housings and all that. I just know that separating the pulses allows each to make a good "slap" at the turbine blade rather then have them "blah" together.

People were using some wrong ideas about "evening out flow" which may be great for power or whatever, but is not relevent to the idea behind helping a turbo spool by keeping exhaust pulses as separate as is possible. Obviously if they never meet......they will be farther separated. I guess one problem is that some say these divided housing turbines dont flow very well. I dont know a thing about that and I'm pretty sure its not a big deal. .

Just build a hanger that can move around with the turbo......but support its weight.

If you are going to delete posts then delete ALL of the BS ones including yours.
Thanks

That is one nice piece of art

Why use 304L though and not 321? Less prone to cracking from thermal cycles even in 16gauge compared to 304L.

Because I happened to have a pile of 304L mandrel bends and straights in stock.......321 would have been my first choice but man that stuffs expensive. Besides, I want to test my design in something cheap first, I may want to build something completely different.

Warren, have you ever thougth about pulling all the tubes over to the drivers side to locate the turbo facing forward just above the tranny? Access to it for piping (a REAL intake!! Although I think you already have that covered) and exhaust routing would be easy, as well as changes easy too. It would only require a slight lengthening of the last tube section.

Is there any reason you wanted to keep it near the stock location?

Tell me about it, you nearly have to sell your left testicle to get material. I ran into the same problem when I built a 420A turbo header. If you think the piping is $$ try getting flange material........ 2nd mortgage, then the other testicle.


Looks great though, if I had a TD I'd nab one BUT ALAS I am a V6 junkie

If you run it and don't like, I would like to be first in line for the free tossing away of the header,

heh ... that'd be like the Friday after Thanksgiving in Walmart.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful pieces I seen for any car, much less at TD. Almost seems too nice for the car I've been looking back at some of your other post's and the level of workmanship is amazing. Great looking parts, you should compile all of the pictures you have and put them in one post for everyone to gaze at and drool.

Warren,
I am not sure, maybe I missed it, but are you going to be placing EGT probes anywhere?

Thanks

Yes I'm planning on it, but that will be last. Don't yet know where or how many to weld in.
