Competition Turbo Spacer

[V-Metalworx]

Can someone tell me why some of the twin setups I see are running a spacer between the ex manifold and the turbo and how thick are they the ones I saw seemed to be a bought a 1/2" and are they running a open spacer or divided I'm getting ready to build my own set of twins and I really can't get the answers I'm looking for.

it would depend on the set up but, if the turbo has a divided housing then so should the spacer and it is usually for an external wastegate mount and/or to clear the manifold.

Its best to run a divided spacer to help spool the charger better. The undivided ones wreak havic on the divided wall of the turbine housing.

You mean that V cut 1. 5" deep into the divider is not suppose to be there :-laf

does it matter how far the turbo gets from the head I've seen them out their pretty far with an external waste gate spacer I'm planning on building a custom header for this setup just didn't what I could get away with

Just don't get really far out there, you start loosing heat and velocity.
