I guess 2.5" turbo back is fine. Quick question, would the stock BP pistons hold 300hp?

[whistler]

nice plan so far!!

[mx-3_4evr]

got my turbo exhaust manifold! I'm going to do some work on it

Not for too long, and don't expect those rods to hold either. The rods are like sticks unless you're using B6T or BPD rods.

[mx-3_4evr]

I got some B6T rods on the way unless you want to sell me your GTR rods for $100

Before...



After 1 hour of sanding and baking... the aftermath, I might do the last coat with flat black

so your not even going to mod the wastegate flange like you told me

[Turpro]

What paint do you use? Same as what you used on the header? How well is that paint holding up?

I am, that's why I left the last coat of paint for later

HVT ceramic paint. This time I actually sticked it the oven for 20 minutes 2 times. I'm going to check your old header tomorrow to see how well has been holding up

cool, thing cleaned up pretty good nice work

[whistler]

ooooh...purdy!

I need some opinions about using my current pistons if they are still ok (they are top line OEM replacements) Would they handle 300hp? I'm getting my B6T rods tomorrow and now I'm trying to see if I need to buy pistons
