Re:Down pipe
 
if you block that off... wouldnt that mean all your exhaust will have to go through the turbine... i think this would mean your turbo will be spinning mad crazy...

just get a friend who can weld.... or rent a welder.... and buy some mandrel bends.... precut everything..... then go out and rent the welder....

thats what i did.... cost me like 50... 20$ for the rental... and like 30 for materials...

im assuming he meant block off where the internal was and use his external, which is fine. the dp doesnt matter

Just disconnect a charge pipe if you are worried about boosting on the way to the exhaust shop...

oh yea i know all about that quote. what i think i will do is... put the external waste gate on, hook everything up and drive to the exhaust shop. and never boost high enough for the wastegate to open. Good or bad?

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about this problem.

There is a good muffler shop, literally, like 4 blocks from my house. ;D

have them weld one of the bends onto the exhaust flange pointing down. clamp some muffler tubing onto it so it exits near the ground. drive there and stay out of boost. have em finish it when you get there.

the wg dumping onto your ---- wont have any effect right away....hook it up, drive normal. but if you dont put the blockoff plate where your turbo used to have an internal gate (if it did), then you wont get any boost...just letting you know so you dont freak out

hit up www.lovefab.com they might be able to make something up for ya without the car there and for relatively low cost......if not u could always use flex pipe or just drive it there without one to get made...
