the piping off the headers is 2inches, then steps up to 2.25 then 2.5 at the merge, the dp is 3inches

I'll have to dig through my pics to see if I have any good ones of the merge

Did you paint those pipes or is that some sort of coating?

Well I saw he said lava wrap but I thought that was referring to just the wrap. I looked up lava wrap online and it looks just like standard heat wrap. So what am I misunderstanding here? What's the silver coating on the pipes?

Ah - OK, that means you won't boil the engine oil. I wondered about that. There really isn't much clearance under the car, is there? Hmm.. now with 24" wheels, there would be more clearance...

ok so I don't have a turbo yet and need to keep this project moving and the car driving to save gas. So I made a turbo bop so I can mount the hotside and still drive the car

It would be nice to see a twin setup after this build since there is no running 4th gen with that status, you have the skills for it. Specifically, a lower compression vq30 with a 6 speed.

made a the second half of the downpipe to connect it to the catback in the stock location. I also added a bullet muffler where the car would have been to help keep the noise down. All I want to hear is turbo spool and bov

I am currently driving the car with the turbo bop and hotside install. Next up is to install the coldside while I'm waiting for my turbo in the mail. My goal is to save the foglights so I cut a hole in the rad support and ran the lower intercooler pipe through it.

Ran into a problem didn't know the foglight brackets bolt to the bumper support. Got to figure this out
