[HotRodKid]

@Carnut

Honestly I can see that downpipe breaking and leaking…but we all start somewhere :tup:

luckily i can do much nicer work when im not rushing

[HotRodKid]

and the outside of the pipe :

Mmm… turblo ford. :tup:

@Viper966

see cars that dont come with ac are better cuz they have their own dehumidifiers so u can drive in the rain with ur windows up… thats my only downside to not having ac

Unless the car you drive isn’t worth rolling the windows up during the rain. <3

[Zer0DazE]

get that rubber 90* off the turbo.

@Adictd2b00st

honestly, i haven’t had a/c in YEARS and i’ve gotten used to it, this summer was no biggie, just put the windows down and go :gotme:

:word: 2

[psphinx81]

i have a/c in both my dd and the evo… i never use it. the summers arent even that bad i can live without no problem

[Jack]

lol… back to the turbo focus…

Thanks for the explaination HRK… 2" inner diameter should be available… but do what you can.

OT Not sure who left me the K… but thats my house, not Chodas. :lol:

[DSMigraine]

never owned a car with working a/c. You get used to it, and i actually prefer having the windows down

my printer printed out the segment patterns slightly undersized this time, so my piecuts were slightlt irregular, which lead to crappy welds too,

your car and skatanics car are the 2 next jobs on my blotter man

Maybe you guys should have, if possible, welded the wastgate to the manifold, moved the turbo higher, used a different down pipe design and kept the A/C. :shrug:

manifold taks up all the room between the head, accesoriesand radiator at the top of the motor, only room left on the drivers side of the header, and to put the wastegat there would have made the dump tube run right through the maf sensor

turbo is just low enough to put the wastegate on the intermediate tube

there was a different DP design, it was highly restrictive

why keep the a/c if nick hasnt cared about having it charged for like the last 18 months ?

maybe eventualy nick will upgrade the overall setup, and we can maybe slide the turbo over to the drivers side some, make a new intermiadiate pipe and slide the waste gate down behind the downpipe

bt thats not a job for now or tomorow …more like for the end of next summer or so
