Need more pics!

OK, I've reviewed all the turbo projects, and I keep seeing the same trend: mandrel bent piping.

I'm in Kansas City, no mandrel bending machines are at any of the muffler shops that I know about. Where are you getting your pipes done?

Ordering pre bent pipes, and "fitting" it all together after you get some peices, what's going on... ?

And also, if anyone has thie 14b mounted, A) Did you have to clock it, and B) can you snap some good clean pictures of where you routed your charge pipe?

Check out these pics of my turbo install. I am not running a intercooler yet, but you can see how I did it. I bought 2 180 degree bends of 2" piping from jcwhitney, and pieced it together. Then I bought 2 180 bends of 2 1/2 also for the downpipe.

Re:Need more pics!

thanks I appreciate the compliments. I actually have just learned in the last few months. My secret is the wheel grinder you see on that album. I am pretty good at not burning through, but my welds are fat and ugly. The wheel grinder makes quick work of them. That thing is about 1000 years old too, but its a miracle worker ;-)

Ya, that's really nice..

I especially like the downpipe That's a pretty good design.

Did you just go to a muffler shop to get the straight peices? Or were those ordered from JCWhitney as well?
