JGS turbo kit downpipe options.

[chad_KAT]

hey guys been awhile since iv been here.

Anyways i have a 98 s14. Im going ka-t with the car and im ordering a jgs turbo kit. I need to know whats the best downpipe to go with because they say use only sr20det downpipes and im not sure what to go with. and im not sure if i need a turbo exhuast elbow with the downpipe or somthing. Im just sorta lost because i cant picture it. any help or advise would be a great.

Thanks, Chad

if you buy their kit it comes with a downpipe. The SR downpipe he mentions is to bolt up to the bottom of his down pipe and then to your exhaust system. Get one off ebay.. they are pretty cheap.

what he said...my ebay ssa duals were under $300 shipped (about $285?) and it was a full turbo back.

i found this one with a test pipe....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

looks ok to me. I know to steer clear of some ebay junk but this is just a peice of steel tubing and flanges welded to gether so i could not see how this could be somthing that could go defective over time...

let me know what you guys think.

that's what I thought when I got mine. It's from china, but it's still ss and the welds are actually very well done by a tig welder. The only thing that sucked was that the exhaust hangers were slightly out of place, so I had to modify some of them.

That pipe on ebay, i wouldn't worry about it going bad later but I wouldn't expect that bracket that bolts up to your trans mount to be perfectly in place, you may have to bend it or modify it in one way or another. I'm just warning you of some of the problems i had w/ an ebay exhaust pipe , but it's not a bad buy tho, just my .02

hey...i am actually piecing together my setup right now....i still haven't found what downpipe i can use for this manifold....its a megan top mount

[Valett85]

i am in the begining stages of my quest for a turbo setup. so i am also looking around. i must say. that megan top mount looks like a piece of art. what is the price on that thing?

[wild_maxx]

they are POS manifolds... don't waste the 100 bux on them..just save up for a good quality log manifold. They are fairly cheap and very reliable. Search around for the JGS manifold.

as for the DP for the MR mani... i'm not sure if they make a DP for it.. so its going to be custom fab'd by you or a shop.

what makes them such POS's...I haven't heard of any of their welds cracking?
