POLO TURBO...nearly ready.. SEAT owners watchout!!

[str8ballin]

Hello all!
If you are reading this then my topic title worked!
I was only messin, if it wasnt for you SEAT owners and this forum I wouldnt have my car this way unless I paid a fortune to someone!

Well I finally got my manifold made for my car, some said top mount would not be possible but my Exhaust guy is real good and the bonnet closes!!

A few pics:

I know I need alot of heat wrap!!

Got my remap bookedd for wednesday and soo much to do still

The collector and W/G pipe are made of 310H which can handle upto 1500°C, and the primaries from sch40.

I got the screamer pipe ending on the passenger side below the door but Lance (Exhaust fabricator) said when the W/G opens the vibrations might make it move alot so he put this spring clip thing in so I can take it off.. hopefully I wont have to!

With the turbo facing the other way im having trouble with space for the Air filter, wish I didnt have to use the bloody MAF!
I might make a hole and put the filter in the Wing, but the 4" piping looks like that might not work either..


I really hope to get it done by the weekend if my parts get here in time!

Will keep u all posted!

Thanks again for everyones help and opinions..

looks good. what thickness stainless?
who made mani?

what exhaust housing did you go for?

 

[Juber]

WOWWWWWWW! thats amazing mate!

Loving the manifold, also interested to know who did it for you and also how much wedge?

Is that a GT35??

 

[h17och]

same tubby as mine. 3071 but with anti surge housing

 

[DPJ]

My, that's tight!

Nice job though.

 

[h17och]

whos mapping it?

 

[traumapat]

thats going to be very hot under there!

Looks like a nice job - lots of folk will be after Lance's number I think.

There looks to be enough space to bring the intake in from the front of the car over the cambelt cover?

 

[ibizacupra]

tight is'nt it.
good luck.

BIG turbo sitting really high and potentially alot of things melting around there (including the paint off the bonnet!), hope you get it all lagged up! Should absolutely fly when done though.

 

[h17och]

my bonnet gets very very hot. cant even put hand near it. paint is still fine tho

For now Hooch!

God i wish i had an some engineering expreience or loads of cash.
All you BT boys!
Engine looks sweet mate, nice job on the welding, mani looks good!

Is there a reason why runner #1 isn't the same as #4?

 

[Willie]

Looks fun
Take it you'll get a coilpack cover to sheild it from all that heat

Good luck

dpj...im guessing DP

 

[h17och]

doesnt look very equal length at all tho

 

[DPJ]

dpj...im guessing DP

DP is on the side of #4. which is the neater runner.

 

[h17och]

looking at the 7th picture, looks like hes either just folowed from the collector back to flange and thats how it ended up or it needs to miss servo !?

Hi all,
Not sure why runner 1 is different... I think its because of the space issue and the brake servo being close, or maybe it just ended up there
They are equal length primaries all approx 13".

The 310H is 5mm thick i think and sch40 is just less than 4mm..

Im getting mapped by JBS hooch, they mapping it with the AVCR and 3BAR map sensor.

Just heat wrapped the D/P and wastegate pipe, and making the coilpack cover!

As for heat issues, I think my setup will be better than turbo lower down setups because its right next where the bonnet ends and near the water deflector so if I get a vent up front it will cause an air vacuum and should get rid of the heat when on the move much better than most BT setups

Thanks for the feedback guys!
