first time i've had a new turbo

[swankmetal]

and i'm wondering if the discoloration on the exhaust housing is normal. every other housing i've ever seen has been rusty and old. just a little worried about my new baby.

looks normal to me. it gets HOT in there!

 

[swankmetal]

right on. thats all i needed to hear. thanks

 

[Beast2B]

if it wasn't dark, chilly and raining I'd go take a pic of mine, it's a few months old and looks about the same. don't worry, it'll get old and rusty with time!

Swank,



I notice you're using what looks like a rubber fuel type hose for your oil return line. Any issues with that? I was going to do the same thing, due to clearance issues with the wastegate, but I was advised that might not be a good idea. Just curious.

 

[swankmetal]

it's actually hydraulic return line. made for hot oil. i got it from the local hyd. store. haven't been running it long enough to find any problems. the old guy there said i wouldn't have any though. we'll see. don't have any leaks or anything.

Any support bracket for the bottom turbo?

 

[swankmetal]

yessiree. check my gallery. got a bunch of "in process pics in there. so is that 40 in your sig on your truck?

 

[bgilbert]

Not yet. Still waiting on Stomp to give me his old downpipe :-laf , Stomp????? Still need the 4" dp, anyone?

 

[Stomp]

Bill your too late

I hacked mine all up when I went to the twins. It wouldnt have worked anyways I had mine necked down to 3" for my pacbrake. I will look around for you though. I imagine with that Greenleaf pump you need the extra air to burn all of that fuel . I will let you know what I turn up. -K-



Swank it looks normal to me.

Lol :-laf , well what about just the flange? I guess I'm really just looking for that. Then I can build the down pipe from there. A site Swank sent me showed it ran about $80 .

 

[swankmetal]

wow! was that the airflo place? the 5" flange i got from napa was only 40 or something (i think). that was with a clamp too.

Keith @ Diesel Dynamics charged me like $35 for mine. only distributor that would give me the time of day on that one!!!



give him a call!

 

[swankmetal]

if no luck elsewhere, try these guys. i didn't see anything under flared adapters, but you might give them a call. will the yard's out there not sell exhaust parts either?
