ill start and say that it fell off becuase i didnt use a thick weld el, just regular dump tubing, the nickel welds holding the steel/cast are perfect, ill probably take it apart today so i can re weld a dumb thick pipe, ill find some schedule 40 at my neighbors machine shop and that bitch aint never falling off, luckily it was 1/2 mile before the englishtown exit, so a muffler shop was able to MIG it temporarily so i could make it from CT to MD and back, this was on friday, but just letting you guys know, use a thick piece in case you didnt





OWN3D!!!!!!!!!!

 

that looks like the ***** how much noise did it make dragging the on the road..

 

what did you do? modify a manifold to accept an external wastegate?

Rob

 

it didnt drag, we stopped for gas, were cruising, i let go oif gas and it sounded louder, forst thought was the plate of my dump tube fell off (exhauts dump tube not WG dump), then i hit the gas again, stopped and it was hanging by the manifold/vacuum line, so it didnt drag

 

you can weld to a cast manifold

Rob</TD></TR></TABLE>yep, they are cast and didint come for external at the time, so i drilled it and had my neighbor (machinist/TIG'er) weld it up with nickel, cause you gotta use nickel when welding steel to cast, thethin pipe itself cracked, that was the main fault

dang you're lucky in aint fall off...

that had been me and with my luck, the wastegate wouldve dragged on the street, fallen, dumptube cut my oil pan up, and then hit the tire and blow it and then grenade before i come to a complete stop
