Boosted Performance single turbo build

Boosted Performance

Thanks guys, and on that note mid day update:

Since the F.I exhaust uses OEM rubber exhaust hangers I decided that it would be wise to upgrade them. The reason for this is me not wanting any of the exhaust weight on the headers, as they will be taking care of the turbo weight. In order to do that, some poly exhaust hangers are used:



Since the F.I exhaust hanger rods are only welded on one side, it is easy to move them up a bit to get even more clearance using a large wrench:



Really does not take much effort to move these if needed. Although I think they are fine left alone.

With the poly. hangers the exhaust now hangs up high, and does not touch the skid plate. With the OEM hangers the exhaust was resting on the skid plate. Here is the clearance with the poly. hangers:







Working on the down pipe this morning I had to make a cut on something on the car:



The 6mm stud that holds the heat shield is very long, and needed to be trimmed back a bit. About thirty seconds later and we are good to go:



Shortly after that the 3" stainless down pipe was born:





As you can see I am using a flex pipe. This is so that the rest of the exhaust does not move as much with engine twisting under acceleration. I plan on adding a V-band flange on the 3" section of the Y-pipe. This is where the OEM like exhaust to F.I exhaust conversion option will come in to play.

Got the other bank routed to the turbine:







Three bolt flange transition:



So now it is time to hook up the back purge (pump argon gas on the inside of the piping) and weld it all up solid. There is 32 welds all together...and that translates in to a lot of argon gas, filler rod, and time.

After that, I will move on to the wastegates.

quality looking work but i have a question.....

is the added heat generated by the turbo in the location bad for the transmission?

Boosted Performance

Not at all. Just think how much ambient air is flowing through that area while driving. This is a common configuration with many domestic V8's these days, only they go with twin turbo kits.

Sugestion. Make the pipe that fits the malifold able to use the factory exhaust donut. All the aftermarket gaskets blow out after some miles are put on the car. Currently I am using black RTV and it is lasting but it would have been a lot nicer to use the factory gasket.
