I'm wanting to but sometime of a flex/expansion joint in my turbo manifold, not because i cant line it up, I want it in the to allow expansion/ contraction. What are you lads running, what set ups do you have? the set up i have is all heavy wall so there will be no flex.

run it with no flex, i have built more than half of my kits with no flex.

No flex on my setup either, also heavy wall tubing. No issues here.

With that small of a kit, no flex will be fine. If you really want to run one, I use the vibrant turbo flex couplers.

No flex in mine but we braced the turbo to the engine.

Yep...built more kits then I can remember and have yet had one come back and never used one! Only the occasional brace off the motor

This is good to hear, i really didn't want to run one. Thanks for your replys.

What ever happened to this build? I thought it was a super sick setup, especially with all the custom built water cooled stuff.

Slowly mate, there's a whole vehicle build so i got to make almost everything

How much of a pita is it to weld ss to mild or aluminized steel? Would it work?

how do you unbolt that form the motor. the heads go up at an angle out so...... you manifold can go straight up and out.

got a video of you taking it off. would love to see it??

2 flanges, not in that photo, each flange is just after the collector. 3 bolt to not allow rotation of the turbo

Not to hi-jack, but what if I had solid mounts and braced the turbo to the chassis with no flexjoint?
