Building twin kits

You can't determine which materials to use & aren't a fully equipped fab shop, yet you're going into the business of building & selling compound turbo kits for resale?!?!
Good luck.
Good luck.
You don't know how Tig welds look on the inside of a pipe and you don't seem to know much about materials, but you're going to go into the fab business for yourself. Good luck with that.
Maybe he took a welding course last year as a sophomore in HS? I give him credit for trying, at least.
Speaking of teenagers....I wonder how dieselson is doing these days.

Better get some serious testing time in as well. Lot of quality kits out there but they took a lot of time to prove them selves worthy to sell to the public. Good luck
You may be putting the cart in front of the horse. You may want to get your kit built and mileage on it before spouting out claims of reproduction.
It's possible to build a twin turbo setup, but not easy. A helluva lot goes into one of those things. Be a damn good fabricator. Cutting-fitting pipe sections and bends to something that looks good and clears everything takes quite a bit of skill. Besides turbos and pipes there're a ton of other pieces.....lines- fittings-hoses-clamps-bracket all must fit together. You have to know which turbos do what and how they work together. You have no clue about this.......don't know which turbos are which, don't know what pipe goes to what, don't even know materials or thicknesses or how to tig weld. And you're expecting to build them and have people buy 'em? Be a damn good tig welder or it'll all look like crap. There's a lot to know if you're gonna' build something halfway decent. The guys who produce these things and do it well know all that stuff and they've spent a lot of time, paid a lot of dues, getting there.

Who the hell are you to tell me what I don't know??? I will be using S400 series turbos as the atmospheric. I had a question, asked it, and then you make a remark like this because your butthurt that I said epr messed up my buddies truck in another thread.
No....your questions tell what you don't know. Reading them a person's gotta think "this guy can't be serious?"
I was wondering what piping most kits use??? I didn't know what thickness people use for hot pipe, charge pipe, ect. That's what this forum is for, helping each other. If your going to sit and make smart ass remarks then I don't see how you are contributing to the community.
Find me a 17 year old that is building twin kits. Then you can tell me what I "don't know". I've had accomplishments that few teens in the nation have. I spend half my time at highschool in the auto shop and the other half on diesel forums.
Yes I'm 17, but a Monday to Friday minimum wage McDonald's job isn't going to cut it for me. So tell me, what were you doing as a senior in highschool?
tigging stainless is cool stuff
This guy has been by far the most helpful on this forum.
Thank you
He can't and I can tell you why. It takes a lot of experience to do quality fabrication, you may be able to do it someday, but I doubt that it'll be anytime soon. The way you conduct yourself reflects your age quite well, perhaps someday you will be building twin kits.
I will have several friends helping me, that have built bike frames with Tig, one welds for a living and has an engineering degree, if all goes as planned I hope to make a kit by this time next year.
