another homemade compound turbo complete!
S-475 T6 1.32

5'' intake

5'' downpipe, tapered to 4''. i wanted to run 5 all the way but there isnt a whole lot of clearence between cab so i just tapered to 4

haha you're a mad man for cutting and welding each piece together like that lol

Looks great! :thumb:

Looks badass! 4" piping is all you need anyways, I like 4" over 5" piping. Props on making your own twins to you dude! :thumb:

yeah i have way to much time in this! (mainly welding, all tig) but it turned out badass so it was worth it. on the hot pipe i got kinda carried away putting it together peice by peice, i have over 12' of welding on it there are so many joints!
i have a nice vertical bandsaw that moves left/right to make the angle cuts. the whole project was made with straight tubing, just cutting and welding everything. (except for the intake between the turbos, i used to 45* bends for that)
i know 4'' probably woulda been fine but i thought the 5'' would look cool haha

[quadracer37]

haha really? does he live down the street from u maybe??

 

[duratothemax]

very nice!! I really like the paint job on the piping.

how come you didnt just use mandrel bends?

Good job man , I think the more stuff you can do your self the better off you are ! you are a freeking crazy though for all that welding, that's a lot of damn time under the hood :rofl: Especially using a TIG !

 

[quadracer37]

Straight tubing is cheaper than mendral bends, can't buy them in as tight of a radius that I needed, and I wanted it to be different haha

Yeah deffinetly a couple hours under the hood! But I like TIG welding so it wasn't bad. I only have about $1300 in the whole project all together including an EFI license and all the powder and ceramic coating.. So it was well worth it!

It's sweet to see more people building their own twins. Looks like you did a really good job on them :thumb:
