What is a Downpipe?

[Gozma]

What exactly is a downpipe and what does it do? Is it necessary for the swap?

[eniety]

On turbo cars, the downpipe comes off the turbo. The exhaust discharge flows through it, then through your cat/test pipe, then through the rest of your exhaust. Yes it is necessary.

No offense, but I do not think that you are ready for boost. When your motor is no longer NA, more maintenance is required.

eniety is right. i think you need to do some more learning before you drive a car w/ forced induction.

i'm afraid i agree, somethings just are not for everyone, like i would not expect to be given a tiger to take care of, i'm just not skilled enuff, start with just your plain old 240sx, drive it for a year or two, do some NA upgrades, learn about the motor how it works, how your car drives, then worry about FI later.
