cool.


so did you want to give us any details about your set up, or should we just guess?

and second, its ssautochrome. why dont you run a search on here and see what you find.

turbonetics t3/t4 turbo with vortech fmu 12:1, greddy type s bov,turbonetics mark2 deltagate unsure of what kind of mani ,and alright size front mount,skunk2 to intake mani with b16a throttle body

what kind of motor?? How much boost?? What are your future plans. I don't think 3" is too big but you can probably find one here for cheaper. SSAutoChrome doesn't have the best of reputations. Especially their manifolds.

d16y8 with on 6-8 until internal get built

i would NOT buy that. chances are it will not fit with your manifold. also, it looks like you need to mount the compressor on the driver side to get it pointing the right direction.

I dont think the whole pipe is 3" either. It looks like 2 1/2" with a 3" flex pipe on the end.

so would i be better off making a custom dp. 2.25 or 2.5 and custom wouldnt be best where could i pick one up at . thanks really new in the turbo section!

don't get 2.25... thats crazy small. if you don't really care how much power you get and/or how fast your car is... then get the 2.5. if you don't want to limit your cars potential, then just get a 3" made or make one yourself.

jdm.ej

alright thanks for the advice deeply appreciated!!!!

Yeah 90% of Turbo parts on ebay are junk

Just have something custom made, so you know it fits. Go with 2.5 if you want to keep a/c and 3" if you dont need it.

Most likely you wont be able to find them there.. Ask around locally... Or maybe try JCWHITNY, KTELLER, or something.. -=P

project dc2 made mine he is here on ht and it looks great, good welds, good quality stuff...

you definately dont have to worry about boost creep with a large down pipe, and you cant really get too big of a down pipe. turbos dont like back pressure.
