Made a sturdy bracket out of 1/4” plate today. My welds are crude but my v-bands and everything lined up perfectly.

Are you guys with the VS 7875 running an oil restrictor? The old eBay 7875 had one on it and I never had any issues and I have a fat return line but I’m reading conflicting info about the VS turbos. I have a stock volume oil pump.
@turbovan ?
 
Got the biggest chunk of the downpipe fabbed and tacked together. Placement turned out really well. Not sure how or where I’m going to dump the exhaust. 4” exhaust anywhere under the car is tight.

The coil brackets I CAD’d and sent out to be cut interfered with the push in filters so had to rethink that. So I had bungs TIG’d in the valve covers. I’ll route from the valve cover to the catch can now.

Looks fantastic.
I vote for the wastegate dump going straight up through the hood. Do it!
:thumbsup:

It’s so tempting and would be sooo much easier!
I tried to mock something up that would go down and snake its way past the k frame and towards the rear but just too much crap in the way. I just got some stainless 2”. I’m going to merge it into the downpipe. I know, boring.

Boring but quiet and I’m the same same way. I “want” the wastegastes spitting fire out the hood. But I almost always plumb them back to the exhaust.
