CB hideaway turbo header mod...

Post by Volky »

Good day,

I was thinking of moving the w/g from its original place to the fat tube where the T03 flange is.

I believe it will work better in that location or just left it where it is and move on.

Why wasn't it put in there in the first place? Space is too an issue, at least in my bug. It's almost at the same location as the original spot.

Thanks,

I've done it on my old motor and a lot of guys have relocated it also.

Panel,

Thanks for the pic. I think it's relocation time. :D

What do you use as a muffler?

I eventually went to the Magnaflow one with the in and out on the same side. Lots of that style out there from A1 or on the Samba. You can also just get it from you local auto parts store. (FLAPS) In that pic was an attempt to hide a FLowmaster in the bumper area but I ended up swapping it.

Volks,

Nice header. Mine was ceramic coated like that in May 2015 and it didn't last. It's rusting out. :(

It was a local shop in the island. The other things he did looks great, it's powdercoated. Hasn't chip or anything.

I suspect living on an Island hasn't helped, but I'll keep an eye on mine. :?

Mine's coated... although it has a few scratches now. :cry:

Good to know. I'm looking at options now that we have a big oven at the shop.
