What size is the DP? 3 inch? The piping fabrication looks great. ---

It is hard to realize how big this stuff/turbo is in pics but that is a 4" DP. Out of the turbo is a 5" to 4" reducer. Crossover from manifolds is 2.5" Charge piping is 3" Exhaust is 4" ---

Im not sure exactly at what HP levels where 3 inch exhaust piping starts to become a restriction, I think its 500+. I have 4 in on the supra and if I did it over again would of done 3.5 or even 3 specifically for ground clearance issues. Definitely looks like a tight fit with the 4in. ---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ---------- Hydrographics WTF? ---

I ran 4" last year as well,it is fine on this car. This setup will be capable of +1,000rwhp. I need the 4" Is yours off the shelf or custom built? If your fabricator spends the tie on it I would think 4" would be easily made to not have clearance issues. Last year mine was never an issue at all. ---

^ I would definitely try to fit the largest dp possible. Even that 4" will be somewhat of a restriction. Best exhaust for a turbo is nothing at all… And the hydrographics stuff is sweet. I am looking into starting a small home business doing the dipping process. It started out with firearms stuff, but is taking off in the car world. Do the pics I posted not show up? ---

Oh they show up. It is crazy! Yeah I dont think we could do larger then 4" through the space but it is the smallest I would put on a turbo this size. Hell if I already had to use a 5" to 4" reducer I am positive this turbo would be unhappy if I went smaller then that. ---

5in exhaust will not fit, att least not happily. And grounds clearance would be horrible with the after market subframe. ---

That is the main reason I went turbo and stopped doing big cammed NA+spray setups. I can not wait for the drivability and power this combo will make. I am running a magnaflow muffler and will add bullet mufflers inline if I want it quieter. > [@turbociv](#): > > 5in exhaust will not fit, att least not happily.

-100 man points for no hairy exhaust lol With BOV and Wastegate this thing is going to be super loud already. No hate though. I couldn’t imagine driving a car with a straight-pipe 4" exhaust lol.
