AlancEP82 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 is it possible to mod my existing ss td04 mani and downpipe to run an external wastegate and screamer,I work with some very fine ss welders so I am thinking these boys will be well able to do it,any info appreciated lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 If they are good welders then they can most defenately do it. It's all down to whether you trust them cutting a hole in your mani to weld in a pipe to bolt the waste gate to. It could also compromise the strength of the mani.

AlancEP82 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'd trust them 100%,we make high end stainless steel vesels for pharmaceuticals company all over the world,each weld gets xrayd so there is no impurefections,then its up to me to polish all up to a high mirror finish so I think they would be up for it,could strengthen it to for me,any good close up pics of external wastegate and screamers on here I could have a look at to get an idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 With external screamer pipes they are just basically a bit of tube with a flange that will bolt onto the exit side of the wastegate. to take the fumes down and under the car away from the engine bay. The complicated bit will be where to cut the mani and weld in the pipe that will go to the wastegate and getting a flange for the wastegate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlancEP82 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 well my mani has like a band going around all runners where they meet the td04 flange so in my eyes from looking pics this would be the spot,what would the best gains be from doing this all people ever talk about is the noise they make Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It will be a piece of piss to them man! Gains would be better boost control Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starletburkie Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Is it a toyosport mani? Funny type stainless there made from I've welded a few ct9 ones before! It was done on this site before with a ms toyosport mani Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlancEP82 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 yeah it is toyo,all I have to do is find what grade stainless it is and the boys will match the rods to it,that's why most of the ss mani crack they foot use the correct rods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
