This was for a local customer it is a replacement for the factory o2 housing on a
88-92 (1st gen) mazda mx6 or 89-93 ford probe turbo
This devides the internal wastegate and adds it in later so that it reduces back pressure and is 2.5" for much greater flow over the stock








Here is the original for comparison





This completely clears ac it is factory bolt on

neat, nice work

whats the car have done to it?

 

I dont know what all is done to the car, I know he says he plans on getting more though this was my first one it was a heck of alot of work getting that long merge for the wastegate into the pipe lol

Good work on it with working around the holes, but they sell lots of these on ebay. I wouldn't trust them like this though. It should flow decent though, assuming they already upgraded the tiny IHI turbo.

 

i think some companies make some stuff like that for DSM stuff... dont they?

great idea...my buddy has one of the IHI turbos on a AWD wagovan we did...that elbow is 100% restrictive

 

He has a garrett center section and compressor side on the turbo I know that
Yah he showed me one that is made in germany that sells for $300 it only uses a 2" pipe as opposed to my 2.5" and the wg goes directly in the side 90 degrees which will create alot of turbulence making it not much better than stock

nice work! i spy carquest gaskets!

 

Thats a nice piece, but the welds look really contaminated. Looks like mild steel, did you not take the scale off the pipes before you welded them? Regardless its a nice piece of fab work and will outflow that stock unit like no tomorrow.

 

it is mild steel I the welds are not contaminated I just welded from both sides (weld outside first then inside) so it put a fine layer of mill scale back on the outside it is going to be ceramic coated

-James

 

I hope you made atleast $500 off that cause it looks like a pita to make for a once off piece

 

I was thinking at least 450.

I HATE welding mild steel. hate hate hate.

Looks good as always.
