Divorced downpipe
-
Added heat extractors in the hood to help dissipate heat from the turbo - turbo header, upgrading to the supra AFM, and a new CT 26 ... the CT 20 took a dump after 31 years...
Got the header wrapped...

I was surprised at how tiny the header is... i have big hands( my kids callem my mitts) I laughed when i saw the box and was like the header can't be in that little box
Ain't it perty
I'm putting on the internal gate CT26... my question is will divorcing the exhaust and wastegate improve turbo lag?

Well, I got to talk to an engineer at driftmotion.com ( he was awesome) he said the divorce would not help, but in fact would probably hinder performance in MY application...

I'll take a few more pics and report on the progress... and how it changed things when I'm finished...
the header is actually pretty nice... good welds, heavy pipe and 1/2" plate where it bolts to the head... better than i expected...
i did have to enlarge the holes to make it fit but wasn't bad...
the water lines, oil feed, and oil return line bolted right up(plug& play)
the other things will require some customization.... TURBO to AFM, Intake to Turbo, turbo/ wastegate to exhaust collector... I'm going with 2 1/2" .
