Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What the heck!

[Luke Warmwater]

Finally got the B1-2 today. Decided to go for it tonight. Got it all tore apart and sure enough the freakin downpipe I got from Piers doesn't fit. Doesn't even look like the right connector for the B1 clamp. Sure as hell doesn't line up or fit the clamp. I will refrain from flaming but damnit nothing pisses me off more than getting I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER tore apart and not being able to put it back together. I sure as hell am not going to put the stock turbo back on it at this point but now the truck will have to sit until I can get this figured out. I will call Piers in the morning just wondering if anyone can tell by these pics what is going on? Considering the downpipe doesn't look like it will even work with the B1 clamp, is it possible they sent me the wrong down pipe for a different gen truck and/or turbo? Thx

It looks like that turbo requires a 5" V-band clamp and downpipe. That is Piers' 4" HX-40 Downpipe is'nt it? The outlet on the turbo looks to dwarf it. Maybe you have to run some sort of a adapter and two v-band clamps to get it all to work. Just my $0. 02.

Yes that is a HX-40 down pipe. . you need a B1 flange down pipe. . or a KSb1 EX4 outlet turbo

Thanks guys, sounds like they just sent me the wrong pipe. I'll call them in the morning and try and get it straightened out.
