photobucket reverses the order so start from the bottom

 

You might want to rethink the angle on the center cartidge, you might end up with the turbo not lasting very long.

 

looks good. i think the angle would be fine.

 

according to the garret seminar i attended at sema 08 up to 15* is fine. this is within those parameters.

 

I think it looks good. I'm no pipe manifold superstar though.
Your camera sucks, but it looks like a few welds might be low. Never be afraid to throw another light pass if the weld is concave, or has undercut.
And, any inside pics?

 

Any reason for angling the turbo up? Looks as if its going to cause you radiator hose issues unless you have something else planned there. Looks pretty good otherwise.

 

using my phone camera, too broke to buy a nice digi cam

it fits perfectly between the upper/lower rad hoses. i mocked the mani up with a GT42 turbo but for now only using a 6765. with the 42 its a tight squeeze but fits, i wanted to have plenty of room to upgrade later down the road

 

looks good

 

just finished the WG runner, only need to brace it now but otherwise its done

 

inside of the collector looks very.......... uniform. are u going to smooth out the carbide finish? collector welds look great btw.


mike

 

is it wrong that its uniform? what do you mean by it?

 

my only concern is a few welds seem to be undercut. other than that, it looks great,

BTW is the 6765 you're going to run BB? cuz that WILL kill a journal bearing thrust washer

 

the finish on the inside of the collector is very consistent, its a good thing, but i would still finish off that carbide finish with at least some 60 grit cartridge rolls or flap wheels.


mike

 

oh gotcha, yeah im planning on doing that.

 

yeah i though that angle was very bad for turbos. im a noob though but heard some people complaining about xs top mounts because the3 slight angle blowing through turbo's and causing smoke


on the good side the welds looks very nice and inside looks great
