[Irace86.2.0]

Almost finished the downpipe. I finished everything, except for the other half of the dump tube that goes from the wastegate to the downpipe. I just have to position it in the hole I made, mark it up, cut the excess material and weld it up. I do also have to drill a hole for the o2 sensor bung and weld that up. Everything I read says to put it around 24” away from the turbo, but in front of the cat. I’ve seen them like 8-12” away from the turbo before, which is why I routed the line through the sound tube hole, but maybe I’ll just mount it lower if that close is too much heat for the sensor.

The front pipe is done. Yes, messy MIG welds. Just getting it done. Lots of noise complaints from the neighbors when the cutting and grinding lol, so no time to waste. I might make things prettier down the road. I cut off the end and welded on a 3” section and Vband end. I also cut off the old hanger and moved it, welded it.

I also took the IC pipes, FMIC, turbo housing and TB to a welder to do all the aluminum.
