thanks guys! dropping the motor as of tomorrow morning to tack everything else together and after that, we should be done with the exhaust side! pretty simple setup! this kit will be produced and sold for a pretty decent price. options will be available as far as turbo sizing. all kits will have the twin tial mvr 44mm, single tial 50mm bov, big ic, piping, scavenge pump, all lines and fittings and dp to mate up to the stock mid pipe!

wait, you mean test pipes right? the mid-pipe is after the Y, so you couldnt run a twin scroll like that.

nah, the downpipe will mate to the stock mid pipe. driverside header pushes one side of the t4 divided and the passengerside pushes the other side.

How do you get stainless welds to have that nice rainbow color? I have tried a bunch of different things and I always backpurge but they still come out gray in color.

I will understand if you don't want to tell me

The gray is oxidation. It has a lot to do with the type of gas, the type of cup, and the amperage setting on the welder.

show us what you have going on at the moment at least! give us a tease of the turbo mounting while you finish the cold side.


rich: i think an issue that could arise with running a quick spool on this is space. He already said it was tight and by the sounds of where it's located that would be hard to fit. Not only is the thing 3/4" thick, you have to worry about the acuator sticking off of it.

the quick spool is just a turns a single manifold into a twin scroll more or less without the need for 2 wastegates. You have to have a twin scroll turbo to use the quick spool valve.

There is no reason for a quick spool since the JTran setup is already a true twin scroll.

very true, can't block off an entire bank (since they have each bank to a different scroll)

i overlooked that fact.
