i made this out of an old ford racing manifold for a focus that i got off a freidn for a tank of gas for his mach 1 when it was costing $3/gallon




my welding could be better, but it's for me, doesn't need to look good to go fast

mad tyte yellow valve cover
took only about 4 hours of total work inculding ------- up once because i was fiddling around with wastegate placement.

as a side note check out what a search for 'turbo' gets you on altavista.

that metal looks paper thin

good luck not getting creep with that WG elbow..

 

thickness should be fine, it's not aluminum foil
only option i had as far as where to put the wastegate.
thanks for the optimism.

 

Git r dun.Should work them grade A HMT sexy welds add at least 10hp

 

apparently you havent paid much attention to how easy ssac manis break, and their metal is about as thick as that....

good luck with it

 

we will have to see than, i guess you don't hold much hope for ford, i can understand.
it's made from tempered steel which is studier than the galvanized piping i used. i am confident that my welds will hold. my only further plan for it is to go at it with a die grinder to smooth all transitions to eleminate hot spots.

 

get a 90 degree bend and replace the right angle to the wastegate.

 

it works and you got less than $100 in it thats good

 

Looks ****!! Rock it till it falls of......the weld it back up! :P
