Haha, another turbobricker on here. Thanks for the props man. Turbo or bust for 2014 Power Tour!
Good couple of days...
This showed up on Tuesday afternoon.
I laid out a bunch of exhaust parts on the parts table and got to work.
SO I started to get everything mocked up. Its big. Bigger than I thought it would be.
I really wanted it straight in the engine bay aesthetically, but there was just no way to make it fit there. So, it got clocked into this position and I built a mount to hold this big girl in place.
Checking for clearance to the front inner fender. It is close but not really many options at this time. Pretty sure a compressor blanket is going to be in my near future.
Wastegate showed up yesterday.
It, like the turbo is bigger than anticipated, where am I going to fit all this stuff?
Managed to get home at a descent hour last night and started on the fab work, this is what I enjoy doing so it was fun. Both manifolds chopped off, v bands tacked into place and all of the hot side tacked up. Still need some flex pipes, another v band and the wastegate but pretty happy how this all came together.
Exhaust is going to be almost too close to the oil fill on the valve cover, do they make valve covers with oil fill on both sides? Other than that and the wastegate and dump tube, I am pretty good for clearance on everything.
Thinking about just running a dump tube with a muffler on it instead of trying to snake it back through to the exhaust.
