do they not have mandrel bends in the old country? If you have the time and skill, why not make your own. Everything on mine was custom.. (4cyl) and I think I would do it again.

i am makig my own, i made them pipes today, its a shite pic though, i'm using a turbo off a t3 rs turbo (ford escort ...

being from england i'm pretty much bolloxed when it comes to buying a bolt on turbo kit, has anyone made there own on here? i got this far today, i'm either going to sell the car (ive decided i detest fwd) or continue this on sunday

OK so i think i have everything sorted now, going to pick up my length of tube tomorrow and i'm getting up early on sunday so i will definetly get it finished, i'm going to cut my exhausts off at the flange so seeing as this is my only road worthy car then i'm going to have to finish it on sunday ...

thats some top work there mate, did you make the boost pipes yourself or buy them? they look spoot on , cant wait to get cracking on with mine now

another good thing about that is i can spin it to wherever i need it

a few more pics, it needs a good clean inside and out, i'll do that once its done

and i need to get a ...

i'll take some pics later, its nothing special at the minute, the skirts are just the front and back ones, not the full length ones

i stripped it out yesterday, out with all of the back interior including my massive box , subs and amps, i took it out for a spirited blast on my b-road and its apparent that the tyres are too good for the brakes because they got so overheated that they are now warped to s---

did a couple of hours on it today, got a bracket and the flange made for the turbo, need to order a length of tube in the week and get a flange machined for the back of the turbo, (iits a wierd one) hopefully i'll have it boosting next week

i've decided too that i'm going to strip the interior out and weld in a scaffold pole rear strut brace, proberbly not tomorrow though, wont have time, got to concentrate on the turbo, i'm going to use the std exhaust from just behind where the cat should go then pipe it through the turbo into my ...
