damn you're right.. i can see the rust forming on it from the picture..... your downpipe is mild steel too..... so it wont be long til it looks the same as your turbine housings

Good thing its under the car then https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

hahahahahaha, you're right...... good thing

rather than order a special nipple, you can do it yourself dave.



buy a nut, drill it out, and tap it to NPT. drill a hole in the bottom of the IC pipe as close to the compressor housing as possible. weld nut to hole, and thread in a NPT nipple than can be bought at any autoparts store. i put mine on the bottom of the pipe, so you can't see the ugly brass nipple.

I'll show you an ugly brass nipple...I mean, since the Tial is backordered until Judgement Day, what's a good alternative?

Davipoo,



Where'd you get the elbow that connects the turbo to the intercooler?



Also, I get my aluminum welding done for $10 a weld....$100 is a$$RAPING. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

Yea I know but when your down and out of time $100 is what it took.

I got the elbow from Ihor at Gotham Racing.

Thanks Russ, I did luck out and find the brass ones that I needed yesterday.

There are a few places online you can get tight radius aluminum elbows to weld to the compressor housing.. I think I may go this route in the near future.. More stuff to polish! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I'll dig up some links and post them.

looks f'ing great Dave!!!
