You're the only person I've ever heard of with melting issues running N/A. I would love to see some pics. I've heard of turbo kits melting fans if the turbo is mounted high up, but never a header.

Not trying to sound like a ****, I'm genuinely curious. Your engine bay ambient temp would have to be into the multiple hundreds of degrees.

The nameless header follows approximately the same path as most top mount turbo kits, and I've got some pictures of the melty resonator in my build thread. The melting I observed isnt as bad as some of the turbo guys have seen, and it may be largely thanks to a few red flags I got caught in last year (no cool down lap after 25 minutes of railing on it can lead to quite a temperature spike)

For the record, before playing with my fan settings I would see IATs of 70*C in heavy traffic.

Edit: we're taking this thread a bit off topic, if you're interested PM me and we'll chat about it

Kit should be on it's way any day now. Now all I need to do is give Dynosty a call tomorrow and setup a time for install and tune!

[raven1231]

Also, need to decide whether I want to use the PLM EL or Borla UEL with the kit

from what I understand you will want EL runners on a turbo setup

Yeah, I know they're more efficient, but also know JDL and some other companies offer UEL turbo kits.

Got everything situated with install and tuning via Dynosty. Now I'm just waiting on the kit to come in . Cant wait!

[raven1231]

Kit is supposed to ship out today


Edit- It's on the way!!!

[raven1231]

Kit will be here Wednesday! Setting up my appointment with my local exhaust shop to get custom 3" piping made for my Q300 replica, from the header back! Trying to get everything in place before it gets here !

[raven1231]

Something came in the mail today!

[raven1231]

Well I unpacked the kit today to look at all of the components and I have to say everything looks to be of very high quality. Furthermore, the packaging could not have been better, everything is snug and very well labeled/separated. I'm assuming this will also make the install much easier. The only problem I have now is this thing is sitting in my house and it's making me even more eager to get it installed!

Did you already get this installed?

If you read his post, you would know.

@raven1231 can you post pics of the inside of the piping? I saw their exhaust in person and I wasn't too impressed. I am wondering if they cheaped out on anything.
