Noticing the fine welds you made Dustin on your downpipe and closed loop setup got me thinking. By the way, congrats--very good work. And Art with your background in this matter.
I would like to see if you guys, or any other competent fabricator/welder, would like to start a project for some of us here. Ofcourse if the demand is there. Here it goes......
Say you bought a turbo from Max-Rev--the newer T3/T4 with the 4 bolt flange (like I did!). And opted to stick with the Drag manifold. A new downpipe would have to be fabricated for this setup. I know this cause I spoke with Geoff on this matter and the Max-Rev DP WILL NOT fit properly if you are to use the Drag manifold.
Do you think you guys would be able to do something like this for us guys that decided to go this route? Obviously there would have to be demand like I stated earlier, but I'm sure some people would be interested.
Obviously, this would be similiar to Arts 3" for the Drag kits-- But with the 4 bolt flange and maybe a true 3" or the same as the old one a 2.5" flared out to 3".

Sorry if I am putting you guys on the spot, and I know both of you are very busy guys. I could understand if you both wouldnt be able to. But damn, looking at your work Dustin on your car--looks nothing less than top-notch work!! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.........

 

Ok, sorry for bringing this up. I guess no one is interested. Well, there comes a time in every mans life when.........one needs to learn how to weld!!

 

that, or there is shops who specialize in fabricating metal things

 

I can make one if someone finds a source for the 4bolt flanges.

ffgeoff... he's got them

 

I dunno if FFgeoff has mild steel flanges. Stainless mandrel bends are mad expensive.

yeah, I'm thinking all yoou would have to do is cut off the old flange, position the drag supplied downpipe onto the new 4bolt flange that is bolted onto the exhaust housing, make a couple of beads to hold them togehter, and pull it out and finish the welding. that's what we did with a turbo we had to switch around..the downpipe was for the tranny side and the exhasut housing was on the driver's side. We cut the downpipe in hlaf and repositioned it....
