Matt's Turbo is ready

To go get coated,I hope

Re did alot of it because I wasn't happy with it.Went 2.5" to 3.5" pipes to feed the turbo with a 4" downpipe.Now I can finish welding it and bring it to the caoter's this week.

Hey Don how come you did not vent the wastegate to atmosphere it incresses the size of the downpipe by not running it in to the downpipe?Also makes boost control better.

Because the downpipe is 4" which will control no problem.If it was 3.5" then I would.

Why do you use a header on one side and a cast iron manifold on the other side?

because on the drivers side the tubular wouldnt clear the stearing shaft. there was enough room on the passangers side to run one of my old tubular shorty headers.
