hotpipe question

[chillmieste]

Hey.

Im getting a new hot pipe cause mine had leaks, the thing is I alredy threw that one away. Can someone tell me exactly how far from the turbo to the pipe will I have to make the welding for the nipple for the wastegate signal? My turbo is mounted on top and not in stock area. Im not trying to over boost here or anything so anyones help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Charlie

are you still running the stock SMIC? or did you upgrade to an FMIC?

using a front mount

i routed my wastegate signal from the throttle body. IMO, it's better because the turbo will boost to get X amount of PSI after the intercooler. Of course, I have to be more careful about where I set it at so I don't overboost.

wha??

Are you trying to have a hot pipe for a top mount turbo fabricated? If so the best thing to do would be to take the car to the place where they will be bending the pipe. You can use any kind of really cheep hose (even dryer hose) with some ductape to get to the shop. Just keep it in vacuum and you should be able to drive the car ot the shop.
