the real question is. is it the boost, or is it the energizer bunny?

No he has the passenger side exhaust flipped also and it goes in front of the radiator and under the turbo and connects to the driver side pipe from belowCool!
Do you have the turbo connected to just the driver's side exhaust?
What kind of HP gain do you see with 5-psi? It would be interesting to see a dyno sheet.
Looks good man!
Shipping says it will be here tomorrow or Tuesday...which ever day it comes, The BII WILL be turbocharged lol!.
So nate did you get a pump yet?
My flanges are round so i dont need to hit them with a hammer lol. I know mandrel bent is best, but like you said its $$$$$$$.... Im gonna run down to the exhaust shop and see if i could go through their scraps for mandrel bent stuff. I need to make a custom Y pipe also.You can used crush bent pipe for a turbo setup. mandrel bent is just better. most shops use compression benders anyways. Very few shops run mandrel benders as the bender itself costs $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Velocity will just be down. All my pipe was dug (with permission from owner) out of an exhaust shop's scrap bin. Also you can get mandrel bends and cut them how you need them from these guys.....http://store.racing-solutions.org/
oh and one more tip is when you get to fitting the turbo flange on the exhaust, i take a hammer to the pipe to square the pipe so it can be slid into the flange then weld up the outside...
Yup!.... I just really wanted to get it done to show off up on campus lol. Do a lil "Mall Crawlin." Oh well I guess a Strait piped 4.0L Lifted BII is enough of a head turner for nowoh thats right you have the little mitsu. Well hang in there youll get it done soon or later... No need to rush it
doin it for the chicks rightYup!.... I just really wanted to get it done to show off up on campus lol. Do a lil "Mall Crawlin." Oh well I guess a Strait piped 4.0L Lifted BII is enough of a head turner for now
Anywho I got my flanges made for the exhaust... They turned out a LOT better than I expected, being cut by a torch.
Ill post some pics tonight
well i have my 2wd lifted for some desert prerunning.. and im pretty sure that turboing it will make it alot more the fun..I'd have done it by now myself but I can't justify it on a 4x4 offroad rig. If i had a street 2wd lowered B2 with a 4.0L then I surely would. but a 2.3T would be better suited for 18+ psi of fun.
BTW you know we got a B2 section now!
