how heavy is that wg eden? one of my biggest concerns was the weight of mine as under fast road going conditions that pipe will get so hot esp with those bend the gasses have to go round; are you thinking of supporting it?

only say as my pipe is like its on fire sometimes after i've sat at a continuous 80. looks good though, almost like a worm :)

btw what turbo was you running before td04?

yeah it is quite weighty, but im going to sly the screamer pipe out the bottom of the a-panel i think, so thell be a support bracket somewhere in the mix.

its defantly wormy, wanted to pull it from the center (as close as poss) of the mani. and that the best way i could think to do it. plus didont want to just stick it out top and it just look like yours.

its off getting tigged atm, probably be done tomorrow.

and the old turbo was gt17

ah cool; my mk2 pipe is going out by the hub. gonna be bendy but will be better.

bracket though is something i could get on there, maybe mounting it to the slave bracket under the bolt.

mines directly off the manifold like yours and trust me the this is not cool! i once stopped at sainsburys and it looked like my car was on fire just from heat and the wrap, smoke friggin everywhere. my main point was though is i dont have water temp issues so the wrap must do something and it was just an idea to separate the two. something is better than nothing imo

the diet begins had an hour on the subby today.





the running gear is most of the weight so in the future i think alloy hubs are going to be the answer

fairy muff,

what I would do for squares and the like is drill a hole at each corner then join them up, can get a nice radius then, I' go for 1/2" min

Thats how I would do it Joe, have a look on ebay mate for holesaws I was not paying much for them, around £2 each.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.
