Re: paper cutout of collector cut?

hmmm well ok.... how's this then...

obviously just as useless to someone that might have a turbo with a round hole...

a combination of 2 inclinations to form an oval port that will match a T25-T28 Flange. in this case 15º and 11º

Pipe Diameter is 38mm

well ok not exactly oval, but damn near close enough to be perfect.

the cutouts width is still 119.7 mm obviously....

I've never used it. I just happen to come across the same thread from H-T. I have no patient in making collectors. That is why people like you are around to make it for me......

^^^ atleast that cutout compensates for the angle required on the bottom of the pipe. i'd like to see someone test this.

Thanks captain obvious. Likewise it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize all you need to do is move it towards the end of a pipe to not waste the pipe. I'm also not a fan of making the merged end perfect until after welding - 1/4" of waste at most isn't enough to cry about...at least for the volume HMT viewers will be doing. Any way you look at it, there will be some waste.
