No racersonly I didn't blw off your question I just hadn't really read through the last page. You sir are correct and that is actually well covered in the links that I posted. What I post really highlights the build but if anyone really wanted to do this I would strongly encourage reading through each of the links as I assure you that unless you do this for a living or have as a hpbby for a long time you would be bound to learn something. But the direct answer to your question is they have an ID of 1.5".

snip here tuck there and prblem solved :D

of course this is really going to happen, I have too much going into it for it not to. The SC hopefully is in route back to me. It still needs a little work so it will be on the back burner for a bit, atleast till I get this done.

ceramic coating yes, red no. lol I will do your set in red though. (foreshadow?)
 
im impressed telion, its coming together very nicely, how are you going to route the exhaust after its fed to the turbos?
 
possibly. hey i forgot to mension that if you ever wana upgraid those turbos let me know. my place can bore out the housings and put biger wheels for more hp capabilities so even a small turbo can produce as much hp as a slightly larger turbo.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind but as for these turbos there purpose will be to determine how far this project will go. I won't put much money into them (if your talking like 50.00 for both you got it). The goal would be to step up to a larger set of turbos and press forward:)

50.00 for both? i wish... thats crackhead prices.:lol: but yea i ment when you get it all together if space is a big problem the same turbos can be uprgraded by changing the internals.

I apologize for not coming back to this Forevrea, first I wanna say thank you for the compliment it means a lot. As for the exhaust route the current plan is to run a y off each turbo closer to the passengerside of the engine and between the radiator and the engine behind the front part of the suspension rack (this is from memory sorry), then axleback style over the axles and then straight back. I will see if I can find a pic.

Yeah that makes since but I think I can get a couple 16g's in there, which should be sufficient enough to say Subawhat :lol:
and leave it saying :wtf: did that just happen :confused:

hmm o think i have an idea of what your saying.. not a bad idea
 
If the manifolds work out, you need to give the design to someone to make more on demand. If this works out I will have to choose between your two projects and their availability. I am pysched! I never would have taken a hiatus if I had known all these mods were in the works.

That is definately part of the plan and I already have connections in place to make it happen. The first step though will be to complete the project. I also have a few other small scale things that I want to make available for us as well. If we don't have an established aftermarket, we can come together and create one :)
