SO i wanted my tial wastegate to stand out and be more functional. So i thought aboout it, and this looks like the most direct approach.

Also did a custom cold air extension, away from any heat, and mounted some hid balasts. check out the pictures, let me know what you think.

 

good stuff...but if i may ask...what will you do to support the wg? i'm not sure if i missed it or something...IMO, your design might need support brackets or something to avoid any cracking and stuff because of vibrations and all..just my 0.02...

 

yes, it will be well supported once fully complete. Those welds were tack welds so i could take it home and make sure it fit well on the car.

 

What's up Meat. Any more pics of the cold air extension? I prefer that route instead of going by the LICP.

 

yea, i will do a how-to once i test fit everything.

 

ok cool keep us posted man...let us know about your review about that setup...

 

Nice to finally see some preliminary pics of the setup I've heard so much about. Good **** Justin. Keep me posted. Did you get your turbo back yet?

 

ya.. got everything back.

 

I wanna hear some sound clips of that baby VTA

 

its not done, youjust go enjoy your store bought evo x with nothing origional.

 

The manifold in the pic isn't coated is it?

 

are those HID ballast for the fog lights. what temp?

 

ported and coated. and the downpipe will be getting coated as well, once complete. See you sig..


yes, 3k.. and i have 5k for the heads.

 

When you going to get that Bad boy on the road?
I like the New setup!
FP FTW!

 

you should see a little power gain dumping to the atmosphere as the higher pressure exhaust wont be backing up or taking up space in the lower pressure turbine outlet exhaust.
