would replacing the hot and cold sides on an Lb7 be worth it with a stock turbo?

I do think replacing the hot and coldside will make an improvment, Your best bet to see the most gains is to replace your factory bridge as well.

How hard is the bridge install with the stock turbo? Simple job?

I would not say its a simple job, But in my opinion its worth the effort. depending on the mechanic a bridge can be changed out in 4-6 hrs.

4-6 hours on an Lb7? I thought they were easier?

Its only time. Doing it on a weekend with beer is better then paying somebody :happy2:

I received my HSP hotside and coldside pipes today and my hotside is steel. When was this change made? If I would have known it was steel I would have ordered it powder coated.

These were ordered from Maryland Diesel Performance.

They are making a change to steel because too many people are damaging the aluminum ones from over tightening. I am a dealer for their products as well. I would like to see only aluminum and stainless materials but they have their reasons. To get aluminum now I believe you have to ask specifically and possibly pay a up charge. I will pay the extra money myself because I spec them different than they normally build their kits.

Over time it will rust if the inside isn't coated as well.

Its hard to control the end user, when most guys install kits on there own they over tighten the clamps and oval out the pipe, therefore never getting a proper seal once removing. This makes it more user friendly, we aren't all master technicians you know

 

[Lb7_Katie]

Awesome ill be needing this for that Lbz kit I texted you about!

 

[DaveB]

We liked the aluminum as well, but had people crushing tubes from over tightening the t-bolt clamps. We are coating the insides and looking at a few other options as well.

So how do we keep the insides of the pipe from rusting? I will contact hsp in the am because I definitely didn't want steel it's already got a few spots showing rust.
