[pabel89]

im trying to turbocharge my 7afe to a 7afte im puttin on a t3/t4 turbo so i need to custom make a downpipe this place is charging me $250 idk if thats a good price? is it?

[Celicam8]

sounds like a lot of $... the pipe itself wont be long... try going to a place like mineke (sp) and ask if they can bend it.... they might be able to

[pabel89]

yea thats what i thought these guy charging to much im a go find out at a meinkie thanxs alot

[Celicam8]

good luck (btw, I'm not 100% sure they will do that, they made me a pipe for my sri but one of my buddies works there)

please post in the appropriate forum.
for a professionally fabricated, tig welded, stainless steel dp, custom, 250$ would be expensive, but not out of the question, IMO.
for a run of the mill DP for your typical 7afte i would expect no more than 150 or so tops tho.

[jesterwr217]

paid 150 for mine

[pabel89]

ok thanks alot for ur help!!

I don't know how you guys manage to get these downpipes done so cheaply. the flanges alone cost at least 50bucks.

[pabel89]

flange i got it for $15 on ebay...$50 whoa to much $...i get most my stuff on ebay i get it really cheap!!!!

[pabel89]

a EGT gauge is usless in the dp, after most of the heat has been used by the turbine.
do you mean an bolt in O2 flange (for the stock o2 sensor)?
if so, i would try ebay of course, first.
if not them, try some place like ATS or KO racing, or one of places like that.
if you just need a screw in 02 sensor bung, let me know.

[pabel89]

so i dnt need a EGT gauge or the EGT BUNG?? just the O2 sensor in my downpipe?

Damn, I only paid $140 for all intercooler piping made, including the downpipe and the rest of the exhaust. I mean, dude took three days and did a horrible job on the IC pipes, but it worked good. Downpipe was the only thing he didn't crushbend to death.

for the car to run properly, you need to have the stock o2 sensor hooked up.

an EGT gauge measueres the temp of the exhast gas.
the sensor should be in your exhaust manifold, close to the head.

[pabel89]

i was think to put the o2 sensor in my downpipe as well as the EGT gauge...and i need a EGT bung on my downpipe to put the EGT gauge or is the EGT gauge even neccesary?

dont bother putting the EGT gauge in your downpipe.
unless you can put in in your exhaust manifold, before the turbo, its pretty much usless.
