I'll just blame it on the twin disk clutchGARRICK.CLARK wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 10:38 am Looking good.
Just something to watch for, On my type 4 turbo (blow through) I had a large intercooler like yours. What I experienced was that the boost/air speed would drop off as it entered the big volume cooler, The turbo had to work harder to put the PSI into the heads. Removed the cooler and the lag was considerably reduced.
Good luck.

What is that knob that you welded in in the middle of the pipe?

Re: type 4 turbo 2.0L
Here's the rest of the system - pairs 1-3 / 2-4
Finalized the stainless turbo support bracket and downpipe with some heat wrap where it gets closest to the fender. Might get it ceramic coated down the road.

Yes that ceramic coating does help with 'sound'

At last, someone who gets that the late Vanagon factory exhaust wasn't just a packaging exercise.
You could sell those if the price was sane-ish.

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
