Can I get away with this angle in my turbo?
I just finished welding up my manifold, and one thing I completely lacked to check, was to see how the turbo angle would sit once it was mounted. All I was really checking for at the time was its position. Anyway, here's how the turbo is sitting with the flange mounted as is. Just out of curiosity, would you see it being a problem if I left the turbo as is? I've seen turbos mounted on a slant like this before, but I'm not sure what angle is acceptable, and if different turbos (ie BB or ceramic) have different allowances. Mine is a ceramic bearing'd snail
now, I know what my chra looks like inside, and I dont' see this being a problem, because it'll still drain oil out, but I just want to know for sure, before I mock up my wastegate/downpipe and everything else.

You'll be fine at that angle but just make sure the turbo is supported. Also clock the oil drain and feed so that you can get maximum flow.

awesome, that's what I wanted to hear
and for sure, the turbo's getting a brace from the lower engine mount. That's just one more thing that I'd need to make up once I had everything set in position.

Re: Can I get away with this angle in my turbo? (wantboost)
As long as the oil feed/drain is less than 30 degrees off verticle you should be fine...
I've seen some setups that look like more than 30 degrees and work fine, but according to Maximum Boost the max is 30... your's looks much less than that...
Nice mani by the way

lol, I don't know if I want to tackle a project like this again
but the dp is gonna be 3" outlet, well 2.5" flared to 3", with a 3" dump y piped with a 2.5" that'll run to the old exhaust. The dump will have an easily removed plug, so I can run around with an open dp whenever I want

no, its different. up to and including the collectors, I used 1 1/2" sch 10 elbows and straight tube. after the collectors, its 14 gauge 2" od tube. You can see the difference in the pic where the manifold is still tacked up, before I sandblasted it to make it all look uniform. There's about a 18% difference in x sec. area from the pipe to the tube

you mean the flange? The flange I used for this manifold was off my maxrev manifold, and it already had the slots on it, so I tacked them up...I wish I had a solid piece though, it would've been way easier then with tacks. I had a couple tacks break on me, and had to re-adjust everything a couple times

You hacked apart a MaxRev manifold instead of spending $15 for a new flange?

I don't know where you can get stainless flanges for 15 bucks, but yeah, I didn't want to bother with either cutting a new one out of plate or going to the burning table to order one up. Just workin with what I have
