johnbuzzed Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Tom, how did you (what did you use to) plumb the turbos and what did you use for reference? That set-up looks even better in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozono Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Very nice job. Love the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drgon63 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Jo Tom, how did you (what did you use to) plumb the turbos and what did you use for reference? That set-up looks even better in person. Used silver solder for the tubing of the plumbing with aluminum tubing for the rubber connectors painted and dull coated to give the rubber appearance then used bare metal foil for the clamps... knowledge of twin turbo setups was a big help the hardest part of this car is i wanted to keep the inner fenderwell which limited me on the position of the turbos and the intercooler plumbing... thanx for the compliments john.. really appreciate them.. and it was great seeing you and the wife at the show....stay well my friend Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
