Will an aftermarket downpipe work with converting my s4 n/a to turbo? or does one have to be custom made?

A fellow 7 owner on the board has one for sale that I'd like to get, but i dont know if it'll fit/work with the custom conversion. anyone with experience? i couldnt find it anywhere...

 

If the turbo ends up in the stock position (bolted directly to the block) then it will fit. If you make a spacer then you will probably need a custom downpipe. Most aftermarket pipes don't fit very well when using a spacer as they hit the firewall and heat shielding.

 

thanks man.

the master of all things 7, hahaha.


p.s. , did you use a space in your conversion?

 

Yes.
