Wooo HOO its done! and its amazing. SOOOOOO QUIET its not even funny. super stealth, quieter then NA with an intake. love it. if i could figure out how to get iphone videos to upload to photobucket with out loosing sound id post something up. now i just need a pal to help me do some tuning.
not done, but im gonna run it for a lil bit to make sure theres no leaks b4 ceramic coating. i didnt realize b4 that it didnt matter if the parts were used. not some of my prouder mig welding moments, i learned a few things and thats good enough for me. many hate on grinding welds but thats what i chose being a non load bearing item, im confident i got good penetration on everythign i ground thus far. Im going to run the TIG torch over a few things like around the flanges for asthetics and that one round you can see up top. if im paying to have it coated i want it to look pretty nice, im sure i got proper penetration with the mig, i was just holding much to far back and got some ugly stuff in some spots. ultimatly i wanted it to be resalable with the turbo and mani when i upgrade, and i think it came out great. all 45's, ported everything, flex section, exhaust evac and 3 O2 fittings etc...

I just read through ur write up and good job man.
I circulated my WG to my DP as well and it keep on giving me problems. My WG kept on loosening and blowing my WG gasket! However, I was running a straight pipe and stiff motor mounts, so I think all the vibration caused it to do that. Since I deleted the circulation, it's perfect. Just in case it happens to you, you know where to look!

Putting a small flex pipe in between your wastegate and downpipe might cure this problem. Since the wastegate tube is only exhausting occasionally, it would not heat up to the same temperature as the main down pipe.KeinPlan wrote:I just read through ur write up and good job man.

thanks gentlemen. i would not of had room to fit a flex with all the clearences i had to work with, but i wanted one. well c what happens its been mint for 1000mi easy. i also used allens for the hardness factor. i hoping b/c the the turbo, WG and DP are all connected there shouldn't be much vibration. also have stock MMs. none the less i appreciate the heads up and it its a potential issue ive worried about. i just cant have open dump. they wont even let me autoX cuz of the noise and with the WG on 8psi going off b4 3k rpm i look like an asshole driving around town with the screamer going off, cops were loving me.
EDIT: i guess im full of it. looks like theres room for a flex pipe there

How is the check valve setup working out for the oil catch? I heard that the suction from the closed circuit helps seat the piston rings.

russ!!! dang brotha where u been hangin? definitely miss ur russ humor.
thanks for the down pipe complements! my largest welding accomplishment, i was so proud of myself lol. well except for grinding the welds, i did em like 3 times with my garbage welder and they kept looking like butt, havent had any problems with it but im going to weld a proper bead over the grinds with the mig at work.

no dyno numbers, just 8psi right now. thanks for the kind words.
getting tires then dyno tune to 350tq
i wanted a flex section but it was real iffy on fitting. are you saying this from personal experience? i see plenty of long term setups exactly like mine, internet, friends etc. and then again theres ppl on the previous page warning me too. the turbo WG and dp are all directly connected, why would their be flex between those items? or are you talking more about heat and or vibration? obviously places like where the dp meets the cat back make complete sense. but hey, it cracks, i weld it, and lesson learned, cant say you didn't warn me its only been 3500miles so i cant exactly say im confident. and i do appreciate all constructive criticism, keep it commin.

sorry, i looked right over this. i really cant factually say its "working great" but it sure as hell pulls some nice vac. i have to check the catch can, but the inside of all the tubing shows its evacuating the blow by, but ill tell ya every once and a while that blow by makes its way to the exhaust and then i go into chainsaw mode, clears right up shortly after.cleantune wrote:How is the check valve setup working out for the oil catch?

yes. my first setup like that broke at the weld of the dp. the only difference i can see between ours, is that you have an intermediate pipe. where mine was one piece. yes it was a pita to get hooked up. and it may have had a little bit of preloaded tension that helped cause the crack. on the second down pipe, i put a flex line in for the waste gate. unfortunately i didn't do that for the egr tube, so then it broke off at the down pipe. DOH!!! :bash: i'll post some pictures up later.

yeah, it would seem that as long as the flex section is between the exhaust and where the the wastegate merges with the downpipe you would have the least problems. if you put the flex immediately after the turbine outlet and then merge the wastegate more downstream, then i would think you are asking for trouble.
in the first scenario, the wastegate and turbo will vibrate as one unit separate of the exhaust.

boy dunno if its just me but i had a heck of a time following that, sounds like the first sentence was talking about a 1.5" flex and the second sentence was talkin bout a 3" flex. I already have a flex on the exhaust, we just talkin bout the WG, and i only have one glimmer of hope to fit it...on that extension peice you can see in the pix i posted.

haha and i really thought that through. i basically agreed with your setup as having the best chance of not cracking due to vibration.sdaigle240 wrote:boy dunno if its just me but i had a heck of a time following that, sounds like the first sentence was talking about a 1.5" flex and the second sentence was talkin bout a 3" flex.

trying again:
1. wastegate dump pipe merges into downpipe before (upstream of) the flex section
2. wastegate dump pipe merges into downpipe after (downstream of) the flex section
1 > 2
better? haha
