Consider making a custom J pipe, with the outlet that large you're just bottlenecking it by using the stock J pipe anyway. I've designed a stock flange with a 2" discharge for when I make my new charge piping next year, it uses an oring too so no need for a gasket.
If there's interest from people for a large outlet pipe on drop in turbos I could probably get the ball rolling on getting some made
yeah I’ll make one once I have a welder, for now I tapered the inlet a bit. I just wanna install the turbo asap ish. I will take measurements of the outlet and make a jpipe later.
Just in case this turbo is sensitive to high crank case pressure, before the install I decided to tap the valve cover for some an fittings and shave it as well.
Was looking at this turbos myself haven't ruled them out yet. Interested in seeing how this goes.
I have a feeling the results are going to be decent, perhaps somewhere in between the fp red and the fp black. I am expecting to get full boost by 4500-5k ish and anywhere between 450-500whp in virtual dyno. Maybe after I tune it I will throw it onto an actual dyno depending on the cost but usually virtual dyno is pretty close to my local dynojet from the cars that I have logged.
yeah I saw that one, definitely nice, but also definitely expensive lol. It’s ok tho, my brother purchased an everlast, forgot what model but now I’ll be able to fab pretty much anything!
Ceramic coated the hotside after porting and polishing it. Used DEI 010301. When cured properly this stuff works nearly as good as commercial grade coatings.

Its a good idea in theory but I would prefer to stick to flat mating surfaces sealed by a gasket. Numerous advantages when compared to an o-ring version. Why hasn't any aftermarket us company made bigger j-pipes? I find that to be an oversight.
