Default Check out my sweet new turbo merge







Its a cast merge from a Powerstroke diesel. It has a divided T4 flange. I purchased the merge on Ebay for 5 bucks from someone who thought it was a sewer pipe connector. The flanges were bought at a price of 23 each though through ford.

Lets see how this works on my new planned truck/c6 manifold build with my divided GT4088R....

Woah... interesting!!

The only downside I see is needing to run 2 WG's vs 1 in the merge. Reguardless pretty badass IMO

Its a worthless piece. You are going to need to flare pipes to use that merge pipe, and risk having exhaust leaks. I would not use it.

I have two deltagates (hello 1999) that i plan on plugging in. They're working great as is. But then again its no different than any dual scroll or divided turbo. Im tempted to make the hotside out of schedule 10 or 40 buttweld pipe. My hotside would be dug up by an archaeological expedition long after my car and me havr rotted away.

I read about that. I already have plans to have pipe turned to 2.02 diameter and get a good seal.

I would use sch 10 stainless 2.5" pipe welded to it to avoid leaks

I believe 94-97. The later years have a v band type turbo inlet.

I'm having the little stub pipes machined soon so ill post pics. I'm debating between a truck/c6 setup with sch40 butt weld pipe or turbo headers...i have parts for both here.
