How much has building the hot pipes cost you if you dont mind me asking?

I wonder if turning the turbo a little, or possibly moving it lower, would make taking the crossover lower than the charge pipe easier?

[o2camaross]

all my pipes including the hot pipe, downpipe and cold pipe was $200 to my door. That doesnt include the merge or the flange. I cant drop it any more bc of the frame rail

[bangbangskeetskeet]

Thats a damn good price!
How big is your downpipe? Looks like you could probably fit a 5" DP with all the room you have!
Makes me think about building my own kit also....

I didnt even think about the stupid frame getting in the way. Probably would be counter productive anyway...if it goes too low then you risk ruining it with the elements and could have trouble with oiling and what not.

[o2camaross]

Exactly. I only have a 3" dp for now bc the outlet on the Turbo is 3" but I may build another one

i expect you IATS to be very high with that crossover near that charge pipe

[o2camaross]

Even with a few layers of wrap on the crossover and possibly wrap on the charge pipe?

Glad to see the build is coming along!!

Keep the o2 sensors about where they were from the factory and the PCM will still retain a left and right bank rather than one.
Put one sensor on the short tube for the passenger side and about the same length from the manifold for the drivers side.

Keep it up, looking good!!!

yep, my charge pipe is between my downpipes and my IATS climb fast!!!! i have double wrapped my down pipes and it still sees high temps

Even with a few layers of wrap on the crossover and possibly wrap on the charge pipe?
