well i dont have a 3"; its 2.75"

anyways i'd like to know if you guys were able to get all 5 bolts on when bolting it up to the turbo exhaust housing. the way mine was made the dp curves right over the bottom-most bolt and i cant put a bolt there; not enough room. and i think i might be getting a small exhaust leak in that area.

i talked to the guys who made the dp and they said its normal and that i probably dont have an exhaust leak there. but i'm taking it back to them next week regardless.

i can build boost fine, its just i hear a high-pitched sputtering sound when i'm on it, and it sounds like its coming from that area: turbo-dp junction.

sorry for the long post, just wondering who left out one of those bolts.

 

Mine is only 2.5" but it's that way too. They welded the bottom hole on the dp flange so it wouldn't leak..

 

i have one from the drag kit...and with a friend got all five bolts on...it was excruciating.

 

The way we make the full 3" downpipes on the drag is we notch the pipe so you have access to the bottom bolt. You can do the same and you wont have to leave out a bolt.

Or Or it takes some time but you can get all 5 bolts in...

 

I just put studs in the turbine housing and it works great. That way all you have to do is get a nut in the bottom hole instead on the long bolt. Simple but effective.
