one 5th gen auto and one 5th gen manual and one 4th gen manual. but i'm working out a deal with another 4th gen auto owner... all sponsored cars will remain ananomous until the kit is ready to be released.. i got to make sure i'm selling something that works perfectly.. if more changes need to be made after the first 4 is cranked out, then they will be made. it should all be ready by the end of the month though.

Yea exactly. Mingo, they will also be selling the entire turbo back exhaust? A friend of mine has a welder so I will be doing the exhaust from the downpipe back and maybe the intercooler piping also.

i rather not get the vband clamps.. they cost alot.. but if that's what you want, i can get it for you but charge you my cost for the clamps.
and yes i can weld on the v band for the downpipe
you guys will just have to specify what turbos you're running with the order and what flange style.. the manufacture has a few different turbos with different flanges so he can use those up to mock it up...

I found vband clamps for like $30 on ebay so thats not a problem. I just wanted to make sure that you can weld the flange on.
couple more q's:
did you figure out if the WG dump pipe was going to be routed back into the down pipe or was it going to be atmosphere dump?
feedpipe, being forward style- is it going to be routed underneath the front of the crossmember or behind the fans?

Just giving a warning. I don't want anyone to blow their motor. IIRC the wastegate dump needs to be AT LEAST 18-24" away.
If it was me, I would dump to the atmosphere. After hearing Mike's its not really all that loud.

the set up comes so that the wastegate dumps into the downpipe but if the customer wants to dump it to the atmosphere, he/she can get it modified to do so on his own, it's a slip fit so that makes it even easier to modify =D

Open wastegate isnt so bad it is loud, loud enough to get a cops attention waiting at the intersection

What would be causing a motor to blow...confused by what you mean
