Turbo BS Thread

These pictures stress me out.
For you.

 

What in the Cartoys/BestBuy/Sounds on Wheels aftermarket spaghetti factory is going on there?

 

Redoing all my accessories. I started my build about 6 or 7 years ago. Adding things in one by one.

Needed redone. Central points for everything. Found a major short in my arb compressor was grounding to aluminum. Not an 3asy task when you have literally near every accessory imaginable including a turbo lulz

 

I feel that, I've started relocating all my interior wiring to a new location in the cab. The Haltech barely fits in the stock location thankfully at least.

 

Making progress..

 

Mucho gusto!!!

 

What color did that w/g begin life as?

 

Haha idk black maybe. My buddy ran it along time ago, then I did, now it's just for mock up.

 

Done.

 

What's the purpose of that flex joint thing in the dump piping? It's all already rigid so I couldn't imagine there being any flex there?
Manifold looks awesome though. Great welds.

 

Flex allows for thermal expansion and a little wiggle room when putting it together. Any misalignment in turbo or downpipe won't let the wastegate seal.

 

Saw the same on a race car that was high hp. The same thing, the color faded into what you have there pretty sure it was black as well. Performance goals.

 

Fantastic work as always. I also like the design of that T3(?) flange.

 

Thanks! Doing what I can.

Yeah it's a cool billit transition from round to T3 I found on ebay.

 

Found on my local marketplace. Anybody want a turbo taco?

 

Is this the one from the turbo Tacoma how to series thing....

Looks a lot like it, but I don't remember the custom frame bits

If it is, it made a long journey up to Maine. Oregon plates on it in the video.

I'm also doubtful of the LCE head claim because that head looks original from the corrosion.

 

Talking with the owner it's been built since 2010, and it's running supposedly 11psi on wastegate pressure. For 2600 can anybody give me reason to not buy it?

 

I have no reasons, it would be in my garage if it was local, looks like fun to me

 

It's basically RTR. For that price, it is a perfect starter for having as is, or building better.
