"Looking excellent so far, just like the exterior."

I noticed you did the Exterior first, and also other people have as well. Is there any reason why one should do the exterior before engine work or interior work? I always thought it was better to work inside out to avoid any dings or scratches to paint or body.

Of course you would be more careful if you're doing it yourself but what about a body shop?

looks cost less than power.

Here we go again..... Worked whole sunday, cuz with the previus design i hade some problems with the oil filter (the header stucked on oil filter ). Now i changed the design, bu the lenght of pipes stayed the same, avoided the oil filter problem (now the clearance is about 2 cm), and finally welded it. only thing is missing is the turbo flange... Run out of time.. So will finish it on next weekend.

Another news, if some of ya guys are interested in HEADER LIKE THIS, let me know, i can make 2 more header, so no more i think will be availible. let me know, price range is about 350$ for a header.

So now lets move on the pics:

I might be interested in getting one, but I've got a few questions. What type of turbo flange are you putting on it, like what turbo will bolt up? Does the 350 include shipping (if it doesn't about how much do you think that would be)?

Also, I'd like to see how everything fits in once you get everything put together and on the engine.

Everything looks awesome though, keep up the incredible work.

The flange that im going to use is for T3 Garett. The price is without the shipping, i have to find out the exact shipping price. let ya know. And yes, i will post pics of fittment and etc then im done with it.

Where did you find the part that bolts up to the engine? Did you make that or order it from somewhere?

lookin good doggy!

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...

Laterz....

well look at it this way.. you found out before the enter system was installed and you did same damage to your engine.. well R i wish you the best i know it will turn out good..

This is why you made two things to bolt up to your engine.

well... I'm no expert but.... the pipe size for the exhaust system has always been proportional to the amount of power you will be making. More power equals more exhaust pressure so it really just depends on the hp numbers your looking for. Also the type of turbo has alot to do with it as well. I'd recomend a t3/t4 hybrid. I hear tons of good things about them. but like I said, I'm no expert. Just going off the things I've read.

Here it is, my poor creation, broken apart, waiting for updates....
