2.5" or 3" exhaust, thats the question.

[Q4STHLM]

Interesting thread and the system on the pics looks very nice.

My plan is to change the system later this summer, but I'm going to replace as close to the tbo as possible and go for 3" all the way ...which leads to my questions...

Those of you who built from the tbo and back,
how did You solve the flange/plate from where you started to build?

I mean, I'm going to keep the very first 90deg pipe and need the matching plate (but with a 3" hole instead, of course).

How did you solve the mountings in the engine block and gearbox with the new diameter of the pipe?

Cheers!

....
Turbo failure. The small turbo tends to lean against the back pressure of the restrictive cat and exhaust, take this away and it will spin up lovely, so much so It will eventually collapse. A good excuse to trade up to something a little bigger.

Hi, excuse me because I'm not sure if a understand it (i have to use a translator sometimes), do you mean that if i went to a 3" and de-catted exhaust, the life of the original turbo will be end shortly?

Many thanks
