Re:Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???
 

that will still work wtf u bithcing about..

or just get a hole saw and cut a hole..

Re:Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???
 

it will be easier for you to modify that plate than to make one yourself. just have whoever is making your dp blow another smaller hole next to it and join the two together like a funnel. that's how the wrx dp are and they work fine. i had mine made similarly and no problems.

o2 housing? just use the hole in the hf manifold for the o2???

Re:Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???
 

no!!!

anyways anyone recommend me a iHI dealer that i can buy the damn housing, i have enough trouble making the adapter plate and crap like that, i don't want to weld so much!!!

Re:Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???
 

The exhaust housing looks to be pretty deep, if the wastegate flapper can still open (max actuator length) and doesnt hit the block off plate, it will still work fine. It may pose boost creep problems later, but, at low boost settings it should be just fine. Or, as others said, just drill a hole, and run a pipe off of it, and make a stock like o2 housing/collector. The factory o2 housings really work well, since they aim downwards perfectly setup for a DP.

Re:Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???
 

you maybe right.. but i still rather get the factory 02 downpipe ----.. i can weld the actual PIPE but i don't want to drill or weld on the flange thing and mess around with it... can you tell me where to buy the 02 thing or where i can find it?

i have no idea where this turbo came off either

www.summit.com sells 02 bungs. www.jegs.com also.

Re:Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???
 

I could be looking at this wrong but From the looks of the turbo. The wastegate flapper door isn't divided from the turbine. How could this be block off flange. Even if u did put that flange on u would still be getting an opening from the stock wastegate flapper if not mistaken. correct if im wrong.

Re:Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???
 

errr, did you read all? Its already been stated that the flange is NOT a block off. (I) said it looks like a block off. Yes the flapper will open but exactly how much, i have no clue...looks pretty shallow, meaning the flapper will hit the flange with little movement.

Yo if you have the flange already check how much movement the flapper has... ;)

Re:Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???
 

I bet you could notch the back of the plate too for more learance. just make sure you dont go through the back of the plate. 15 min job to figure out if it works or not.
