Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

Ok, the other flexi is cut off, and I have upgraded from a $6.00 downpipe to a $10 downpipe, which only took two pieces to make. Lucky me it was just not as complicated as I had thought in my mind. It looks kind of like a sculpture/ art almost. Basically, I'm going to unbolt the transmission exhaust hanger, and shove the original exhaust over and it meets up with this - which will be flanged. Custom exhaust can happen later. Right after the turndown is an electric cutout anyway, so I can run it open sounding. Once i have this piece mounted, I also have a 45* super small bend that will attach the wastegate, to the downpipe, and essentially make everything kind of one piece.

I'm debating if it should be one piece for structural reasons, with some 1/4" bar between a few places like the one holding the turbo flange rigid. It would make it so I could bolt the whole pipe in, then mount the turbo exactly where it goes, and then bolt that down, and it will have a little "shelf." Hopefully this makes sense to someone other than myself, but basically this will be a bypassing single part manifold pipe... I think it'd be cool - a true bolt on part.

Then I could fab up a bunch of bracketing over to the block and have plenty of room without the turbocharger in the way.



Try not to laugh at my welds... I'm still learning, also I seem to just build up too much material is all...
