I was the first to receive he fix pipe I have had it on my car for 2k miles and all of a sudden this crap happens. I hate removing the turbo some of hose bolts are a ***** to remove.

 

Yeah I feel ya on that one. How long did the fix take you? I was gonna do it, but Im tuned at 9-10psi now, and I doubt Id ever be on my low boost setting when I drive it so I think Im not gonna do it anymore....

 

Well I dont know if yours came wih instructions but i had to figure out what they waned me to do with all those weird pipes so removing the damn turbo and all took around 3-4hrs or so maybe more I dont remember

 

Damn that blows. Why did you do the overboost fix anyways dont you haveabuilt block now?

 

I did the fix pipe before I got the built longblock. I still havent dropped it in though I might just drop the built block in and put on the original pipe back in.

 

Damn.. Do you have any pics of the pipe? I have mine sitting in the other room and would like to compare.

 

I tried taking a pic but the hole is about the size of a piece of trident gum. The only way I can see it was using a little mirror I have.

 

Redhot you received the ad hoc test version of the fix pipes. The reason it took so long for everyone to get theirs was that Turbonetics had the pipes made y their pipe fab shop. The one you got was created just as a test. I'm sorry to hear a crack developed. I'm sure Reggie can send you one of these "production" versions of these test pipes as a replacement.

 

Damn so TN tested this pipe/weld/design on his car? Did he know he was a guinee pig?

 

Yes he did. I know for sure I told him this via PM. He was VERY anxious to get this fixed so Turbonetics sent him the first available pipe they had for testing to make sure it worked on the Z also.

 

Man good thing i have a GReddy kit, HAHA















j/k glad you found the problem gilbert, if you give it to Tony he can have it welded professionaly so it wont crack again, let me know.

 

yeah all you need is someone to tig it, pretty easy.

 

Yeah I knew I was the lab rat but I dont mind I wanted to but anyways thanks guys Im just glad I found the problem.

Dont worry about it Robert I can weld the whole its no big deal really I might just put the original back on when I swap in the built motor.

 

Sounds good Gilbert...well either way you know who to call if you need the production fix pipe. Let me know dude. Whatever I can do to help.

 

Thanks alot Robert I havent been on the forums lately but I still havent got around to fixing it.
