Hey,
This weekend finally i had time (and my friend too) to work on my custom turbo Header. We started like 11.30 am, and both thought that this job will be easy... Yup, it wasnt... All thought about the design, everything that we where doing seemed wrong, and like spending WHOLE DAY just thinking how it has to be, BAM we finally worked somthing out. I wanted that piped of the header where as much equal as they could be. So, i hade to move my radiator in fron a bit, to have more place for my turbo. Anyway, pics say more that any word, so here ya go: -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

Here is the deal... i talked to one guy here, he has VW Corrado with like 450hp and stuff, he made these things before, and so on. He looked at my header and ya know what... He told it was made WRONG... So im kinda sad, cuz i trust this guy... First thing is that pipes diameter is to big to spool up turbo quick... Second, i did the BIG mistake shaving the welding marks... It will crack in these places then it will be hot... So... I think this header must go..... Going to give it another try this weekend with the smaller pipes, will see what happends...
