Well sence my car is down right now, my bro and I decided to go about clocking my turbo so i could do a more efficient hot side charge pipe set up. After dicking with the damn circlip on the turbo housing for about 3 hours we finnaly got everything clocked to where it needed to be. Some slight jerry rigging with the drain line was also needed. Any ways im looking forward to seeing what this does for spool time. Here are some before and after pics. OH yea i picked up a filter for my turbo instead of using mesh, its an intake filter for a mini bike hehe.

You can see the huge kink in the hose


Now its a nice smooth bend

 

looks alot better.

 

clean clean clean

 

swell. that was one kinky hose :naughty:

 

I would def. change the boost pipes. I think jegs sells some random bends that are in 2.5 inch and they are mandrell bent.

 

ACTUALLY.....Im already running 2.5 inch mendrel bends. That section there however is a unique case. The adapter off the of the outlet is 2in and it is much easier for me to run 6 inches of hose to the hot side charge pipe then it would be to physically weld piping to that 2in adapter off the turbo

 

should feel alot better now. nice diy man.

hehe im the same way. boosted but now there are a ton of little "upgrade mods" to do that will benefit the setup lol... ahh the never ending project engine bay

 

Ahahahaha!

I like that post... I was expecting to see a "Kai is bad luck" thread.

Short story: My cars brake, constantly. I visit idiot here's brother to pick up some tires, so he gives me a ride in his turbo Sol to show me what it can do. We go about four blocks down the street... vroom, vroom! We aren't going anywhere! Blown transmission!:db:

Nice pipe rework (Pats,) now get to those charge pipes. JBWelded BOV's are never a good thing.

Now that you have it clocked in a better position, figure out a way to fit a larger filter.

 

looks alot better man

 

Oh i see, Does the rubber hose expand at all? If so try to get some stronger rubber. I wasnt e-dogging you setup but you would get more out of it if that was adressed.
