if you pay for shipping i could send you anything you wanted for free, just give me the size plate you need from 1/8"-1/2", i got tons ofsteel lying around inscrap bins,youd haveto clean it up but it would bewell, free and all.

if you sent me the template i could even cut / weld everything for you

id be glad to help out a fellow boosthead, and this goes to anyone, just let me know what you guys need fabbed and ill hook you up if its simple and uses small sheets of steel.

just send me an email with a pic of your template flip and ill let you know if i can help out. nothing better than helping a fellow boosthead save a couple bucks.

 

oh and what size pipe? just found a ton in my naighbors yard, and i could go steal you most anything you would need from the schools auto department scrap heep.

 

well i got 2.25" catback, so i'm guessing 2.25" would do it, thats so sick Didder, i'll takepictures of both the turbo flange and the HF flangeand put some dimensions on it tomorrow and email it to you. PM me your email address and also home address so i can send you some money for the shipping of the adapter plate (if this really happens )

 

email is braddoerr0_0@hotmail.com

i could find you plenty of 2 1/4" piping [8D]

how thick of plate you gonna need? if its over 3/8" i will have to do some thievery from my dad lol, but no big deal we got a ton of it and its like 13C a pound when you buy 50 tons ata time. but for a flange i would think you would use like, 1/4" but if you want 3/8 i can hook u up with that too, ill just lay it out, torch the 2 flanges, clean em up with a wire wheel grinder, and then weld the pipe, on, take 20min tops.

but thats just me thinking its gonna look like this 8===8 am i correct? (the 8's are flanges not ********* the === would be the piping connecting the 2)

but!! you have to teach me how to do the custom interior gauges like your car, those are so freakin sick. is it hard to do? cuz if its not i might as well do it when i have the cluster out to put in my new cluster pod that holds myboost / oil pressure gauge

 

yea thats exactly what the adapater is gonna look like, excepti dont really want the 2.25" piping between the two platesto be long at all, maybe 1" or 2" at the most. I'll email you pics of the flanges tomorrow oh and for the thickness, i'm thinking 1/4" should be fine, what do you guys think?

and as for the gauges, thank Addiction2bass man

 

Didder 3/8s is probably best for those flanges, just because they get so damn hot. You want the pipe between the two flanges to be as wide as the inlet to the turbo, so measure that. 2 1/4 is probably good for that turbo, hell 2" might be lol.

Flip you should just cut a template out of cardboard and mail it to him.

 

i was just going by the size of my catback, but if the turbo inlet size is what counts, lets go by that. I'll measure it all tomrorow, and yea i could cut out a template with like poster board and mail it to you, Didder wanna PM me your address?

and Sov, how long should the pipe between the two flanges be? Think the 1" - 2" like i said would work?

 

Yeah just enough to get it away from the block and like 2" long is plenty fine.

 

k cool, Didder you gettin all this info? haha PM your addy man, i'm gonna make a template for you tomorrow

 

k so Adapter Plate templates are made on on their way to Didder gonna use about an inch or two of2" piping betwen the two plates, should work well, heres a pic of the templates:



i think they turned out alright

oh, and also (thanks to Sov), i unbolted my compressor housing, and (as scared as i was) hit it with a hammer and pivoted it around so the charge piping outlet is facing down, just how it should tightened it back up and we're all set to go. Just need to figure out which coolant line is inlet and hwich is outlet now.....
