Quik Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 today finished up welding my turbo exhaust. im still waiting on summit for my V clamp. i still have to add a hanger to it and tips. next week ill start my 2.5 wastegate exhaust. the wastegate exhaust will follow the 4" till it needs to exit then it will step up to a 4" tip. that way i have the look of dual 4" exiting my truck. exhaust is 4" aluminize mild steel. I know i should use stainless but truck wont be driven in weather since its a toy and not a my DD. maybe down the road ill redo it in stainless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmf21209 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 well, after goin through the 9 pages, sick build! looks like you got your compressor housing coated, how did you go about doing that? Better option than the blankets. Any specific reason you went with that greddy BC? I'd go with the HKS EVC 6 if I was running anything similar to that setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
