Would love to see the TQ/HP/Boost Curves on this build. It sounds awesome.

What's the advantage of having a v band vs a t4?

the flow going in looks to flow wayyy better, and you have a little more room to work with. they call them vband style t3 but dont know why. there is no real difference in the size on the hole in the turbine housing.

ask and you shall receive! BIG update! My builder has been busy...

Materials ready to go




getting the v bands welded up to the manifolds re-used from the old kit



tacking up the passenger side:



Really starting to look like something



downpipes tacked up



Just about done! Need to plumb the wastegates.



The stainless was polished and mocked back up:








Im so pumped for this. Great motivation to get back out in the garage and do some wrenching. Stay tuned for more updates

Downpipes are 3". Im not sure if I should do like a 4" merge and then a cutout or have a cutout in each pipe and then merge into a 3" and then to the catback..yes everything has/will be tig welded.
