I have been wanting to port my HF manifold, but i ended up welding the turbo to the mani. Should I still port it or would that not be good because of the particles getting down in the turbo? kinda a no brainer but i am just courious. would the particles even see the seals? just courious...

 

I wouldn't do it unless you remove the exhaust housing from the center section and blow it out really good after you're done.

 

why did you weld it?

 

make a long story short, it was being a pain in the ***, and i had to redrill the flange, and i fucked it up. so i welded the adaptor plate to the manifold, then the turbo to the adaptor plate. -so it still flows nicely. but its all welded together.


and i think i will just leave it as it is.

 

THATS HMT ALL THE WAY if it still works then leave it til it breaks

 

^^^thats what she said :P (old skool comeback)


but yeah, my entire set-up is 100% homemade

 

Shove some toliet paper down the runners and ATLEAST port match the hf manifold, you dont have to go hog wild on the ******. Then blow it out real good and you will be fine.

 

thanks jeff

 

just clamp the manifold upside down when you port it? no shavings or carbon crap should go up to the turbo right? Good luck
