10 gauge 2.5" Stainless/Mild Steel good for the hotside ?

yes. 2.5" from mani to 3.5"merge shaped to fit T4 flange.
16g is fine.
use stainless!!!!

PTE46mm wastegate ....comes with flange you weld onto pipe
jgs blowoff or turbosmart raceport blow off

use meth!!! unless you plan on running race gas.
install nozzle in front of iat... so when meth empty, ecm will retard for higher temp.

[S.J.SLEEPER]

FYI: I have an extra stainless 1/2" thick T4 flange if interested.
also, no need for nos spray bar. just get a quality meth/alky kit.

If your not using a divided exhaust housing, you can grind the divided area out.
$20 shipped & its yours.
I also have some random 1 3/4, 2 1/2, & 3.5" stainless pieces hangin around. may have some intercooler piping & couplers too.. just have to go through my extra box of chet.

so 2.5 into a 3.5 for the merge? i was lookin at the sticky on tech and i think he used 2.5 threw out. ill find pics...

anytips on how the hell to get 2 pipes into 2 squares ?!

[LS1ow]

"(3) 2.5" Mandrel U-bends for the merge pipes"

[LS1ow]

and the whole needing meth thing is new to me ? i always thought meth was just an add on for more power ?

Some people use meth to make up for having compression slightly higher then desirable...

kinda....definitly a must for higher C.R. when running pump gas cuz....
meth cools the intake charge drastically...cooler denser air, means your able to run more timing, and higher boost along with its affect of "higher octane" meaning more hp, and reduced detonation.

meth straight can be used as a power adder and cool intake charge at same time
meth/water mix will mostly only cool the intake charge and add a few points to the octane (not much)

You sound silly.

Even with a 9.0CR, 20#s will put you on the ragged edge of pump gas, and any lower CR will be a complete dog out boost.

Meth evens the field out.

Ever stick your hand in washer fluid? Multiple that by 100, welcome to meth.

[LS1ow]

lol so looks like a meth kit is added to the list...

Snow ?

[LS1ow]

boxes are being to gather.

ive heard some bad stuff about godspeed(there turbo kit) so idk about going with them clamp, but ill try find some reviews

[LS1ow]

anyone got some advice on fabbing up the merge ? and how the hell to get round pipe into 2 rectangles on the the T4 !?

[LTb1ow]

Semi decent walkthrough.

You could PM or call these guys...

Suuposedly, mild steel with flange is $65 shipped, but that was from 2008

Here is a newer link

Not a bad price pending how you value your fab time.

kinda hard to explain.....
measure the width & height of total opening (pretend split in flange wasnt there)
say its 2" x 4"
total linear length is 12" (if you were to add all sides)
12" divided by 3.14 (pie) = 3.82"
so.... you need to have a 3.82" round pipe (that you would heat & form to a square to fit flange)

if your using 2.5" pipes from manifold..that equals 5" pipe, you need to cut wedge of each pipe to merge them togetherforming a 3.82" pipe.
so doing math again you would need to take off a 1.88 linear inches off each pipe at which ever angle the 2 pipes are merging together.

tip: always best to build merge first and work your way back towards manifolds with pipping

[S.J.SLEEPER]

if you havent made one or bought a t4 flange yet, I can fab you up one this weekend out of stainless.

ya know i was just going to heat and form it into a square but i figured that was not how it should be done lol doesnt seem to hard anymore

and thanks for the offer but i already got all my stuff lol


so now plan is like this

1. make t4 merge
2. make the v-band connections for the manifolds
3. connect them

[LS1ow]

completely forgot bout the wastegate lol


so correct me if im wrong, WG is on the hotside, BUT it has to be at a point were both pipes go into 1 ? so the WG has to go right after the merge but befor the flange itself ?

Could run two WG if you want real good control.

Or just weld in a pipe like this.

2 WG is for ballers. im ballin on a buget.

If you can't make it rain, at least make it drizzle a little bit

i already made it Snow performance
