mine isnt the one on ebay, mine was welded by one of my local buddies. He built it for his car and is going a different route now. I wish my pics did the welds justice. They are way better than the ebay version.... DP fit perfectly. My DP i was using on my 20G was the DC sports, so i had to make a test pipe... and we cut the vband off and welded a straight pipe to the DP and then put a flange on the other end to mate up with my catback.

 

I used the ebay one as mockup. i really liked the 3 runners runing along each other.

 

I see I think it looks great. I thought about getting an ebay one and just polishing it up and maybe cleaning up the welds. I would examine it for defects and if it didn't look good enough then sell it and go a different route. For as cheap as it is it is probably worth a try.

I just thought since it looked exactly like it,(same size, length, number of welds etc...) that it might be it. I was hoping it was because I wouldn't have to do much work to it to make it look up to par. I thought about doing a custom 3076r or even up to a hta35r... Anyhow car looks great.

Where did you get your oil and water lines from if you don't mind me asking. Also what did you do on the lower IC piping?(you can pm me if you'd like)

 

looks great!!

 

LICP was made out of part of a NESEI LICP... left that connected to the IC and bolted to the chassis for support. Then we fabbed a piece of 2.5 to meet up with the turbo and LICP.

My oil and water lines were bought partially thru CBRD and a company they use for lines and fittings. Chad was very helpful with getting all of that together for me and pointing me in the right direction as to what i needed to buy.

As far as turbo choice goes... what is your final goal ? let that determine the turbo. I actually spool better than all of the HTA graphs i have seen.... i have to thank crewdawg for that one... he picked out the turbo he wanted to use and we got it and then i sent it off to Blouch to be modded into what it is now And ofcourse, you cant beat the manifold.... thanks bobby

 

where can i get some sweet bolts and foil like that for mine???

the down pipe is the ebay one. you would have to cut the v-band end and weld a 2 bolt flange. I recomend you buy 3 flanges (2 for the end of the DP to meet the test pipe and 1 to met the cat back) also buy 3" straight pipe so you can make your test pipe and keep your good one so you can sell it or keep it for later. On bigric09 i just made the DP meet the cat back. Is long, but less unions or possible leaks. also. the flange that meets the turbo exhaust is for a regular T3 four bolt hot side like presicion turbo (2.5 i think) the garrett GT's are 3" 4 bolt exhaust so it will not work. hit me up if you ned help.
