just wanted to warn anyone with a fmic planning to install this downpipe.

after i put the pipe in, i found out that i have a lot less room then i did before in the engine bay.




my old piping made a u turn off the turbo and would shoot straight down like this




so i had to unwrap my piping and cut up all the piping i had welded >>





i decided to paint the piping, came our really nice but i dont know how long it will last without chiping.



now i just need to buy silicone 90deg to make it all work again hahaa

Why haven't you re-clocked that turbo yet?! It'll clean up that engine bay tremendously if you get that piping off of the heatshield. It can't be that hard to loosen a few bolts and twist the compressor housing. Actually I know it's not that difficult since I've got a 3S sitting in my garage now >>

because from what people tell me, you can clock the turbo with no problem, but mounnting the actuator is a pain in the ass custom job.

wastegate actuator I assume. custom plate if anything. nothing a drill, vice, band saw, and some scrap metal can't fix.

then the problem becomes getting the piping to the side of the intercooler, and clearance between the turbo and radiator. >>

If you point the trubo outlet more towards the ground than the front that shouldn't be an issue.

It's when you rotate the compressor housing so that the outlet is pointing in a different direction. In the case of the ct26/ct20b and many other small to medium sized turbos the wastgate actuator is bolted to the compressor housing so turning it is a little more complicated but honestly not as hard as people make it out to be. Actually that'll be one of the first things I do to my 3S motor besides eliminating the AFM and running a MAP based standalone EMS.

Great reply. Much more diplomatic than my response to the members who wanted better videos.

Well I've already bought a 3SGTE and I've already eliminated the AFM. I've just gotta clock the turbo and drop it in. LOL! It sounds so simple.

I'm not complaining just doing my best to convince you to turn that sexy beast into an even sexier beast by simplifying that engine bay. >>
