Question Does anyone care?

Are any of you interested in seeing the pics of my custom single turbo setup going on my SC300 right now?

If anyone cares let me know and I will post the links, or post the pics here.

Here is a link to my photopoint acct. I don't know how to make web pages, and also I thought it was too many pics to upload here.

Every pic has a caption explaining it, and you can ask my any questions you want about my setup here
http://albums.photopoint.com/j/Album...a=12097814&f=0

If that doesn't work just go to photopoint.com, type in my e-mail addy: ebanks@compuserve.com and go to the album titled "my lexus"

Let me know what you all think!!

That setup looks real tight!

Do you think you'll get some cracking in the pipe between the wastegate and the downpipe seeing as there is no flex pipe? You might want to shield the compressor housing so the header doesn't heat it up too much, they are pretty close together.

The turbo actually sets up higher than the exhaust ports, so it won't heat up too much, and we had both the exhaust housing and the whole header high temp coated, so that should help.

That is actually and HKS header, that we just cut like the top 3inches off of and made a custom flange so it would fit the N/A head... It is the header they use for Supra TTs, so this is the standard supra setup, so it shouldn't have any probs

Also, thanks for the compliments

I will post some pics of it once we get it put back together also... Larry started reassembly today, so hopefully it will be together by the end of the week
