i am having a profetional do the welding. the turbo will only be supporting about 3ft of pipe. so it dos not have much weight to hold up at all.

okay.... idk. its the expansion and contraction that'll crack it, not so much the weight on it. are you going to dump right out the side of the front bumper?

**13thghost** · 10-08-2008, 07:18 PM

i am going to dump right out the side of the bumper. if i can can find a better turbine housing for a good prices i will just buy one. i guess it will be safer to just buy a new housing insted of welding one. i can see the down pipe blowing off and getting run over at the track lol! not so cool if it takes out a tire at 100+.

it seems to me they should have taken that clearance into consideration when building the manifold but... yeah idk lol

**13thghost** · 10-08-2008, 08:23 PM

i had them fit the manifold with a gt35r they had in house. i did not take into account that my turbo had a long v-band housing. oops!

**therieldeal** · 10-08-2008, 08:36 PM

ahhh gotcha

i was looking on ATP's site and it looks like they have some lower profile v-band housings

**13thghost** · 10-08-2008, 10:22 PM

i took a look at the housings. the housings are just devided not stadard style. they also cost $295 dallars. lol i am going back to having this thing welded. lol
