ImUrOBGYN Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 It doesn't even need one. The RAV4 begs to differ. Good work, man. The work's coming along nicely, Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Fuck that RAV4, goddamn Volvo killer. I'll be happy when the new turbo gets here and I have it running again. Hurry up and wait as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew2o2 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 This is an amzing car, did you fabricate the exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 This is an amzing car, did you fabricate the exhaust? Kind of, I bought a 4" system off Supraforums and modified it to my standards. It isn't built exactly how I want it, so I'll be redoing it whenever time/funds permit.

Alex L. Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Not yet, never had any around to weld. I've done plenty of stainless and aluminum, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Is the hot side 1 piece? Looks like it could be tricky to get it in / out if its one piece. Did you change the cold side at all from when you had the previous turbo on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 ginger please start looking at a catch can setup with dual -10 or -12 an lines on the valve cover. your old ones not going to cut it much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you change the cold side at all from when you had the previous turbo on it? The cold side has always been 3". I redid the hot side from a restrictive 2.5" design to this more free-flowing 3" setup. It's not bad to get in/out. ginger please start looking at a catch can setup with dual -10 or -12 an lines on the valve cover. your old ones not going to cut it much longer It's on the to-do list.
