Finally going turbo

[Sharky1]

Funny thing Sharky the aim is to get the hot hot air threw the turbo.. you want the exhaust gas to cool after the turbo or you loose air density and that means less force and less spin.
Sure we're talking nano farts but if your talking tuned pipes on a gq oil burner then it's all sorta relevant.
Another addition is a turbo beanie to help hold heat in untill post turbo..

Yeah to a certain extent. But even then a manifold that gets hotter quicker is gonna do that better. Go too hot & you'll overheat the turbo. Too cool & it wont work efficiently. Like I said until I get it on & dial it in I won't what its doing. I don't wanna ceramic coat coz if creates other issues. Often it doesnt take well either. I'd sooner wrap it with insulative exhaust wrap if need be which is cheap & easy & just as effective if not moreso. I doubt the turbo will run too cool. Yes I agree diesel emissions are cooler than petrol. But its a mega high compression motor & a turbo by nature gets hot. The majority of ppl have issues keeping them cool.

I didn't want a cast manifold coz they sit the turbo 2" further back & higher up than the one I have which makes for lesss room & in most cases you can't fit a 3" dump pipe on. If I went low mount I could have used a cast manifold but then there's much more piping from turbo to manifold which is where it counts more on exactly the same principle of why positive displacement blowers work more efficiently than centrifugal ones.
