wtf exhaust.?.?.? May 27, 2010, 12:20:18 AM so my car is in the exhaust shop and they told me that putting on a turbo elbow was too hard to set up the flap for the waste gate... is that hard to do? so i cant use the 3" elbow i just got!!!!!! so mad Quote Selected
wtf exhaust.?.?.? Reply #1 – May 27, 2010, 12:29:59 AM Uh, take it somewhere else. A competent shop should have no trouble connecting that elbow I modified to a downpipe. There's plenty of clearance to hookup the wastegate to the flapper arm. Quote Selected

wtf exhaust.?.?.? Reply #4 – May 27, 2010, 12:40:59 AM Tell them to just hook it up and get on with it and you'll deal with any "problems" as a result of the free-flowing exhaust. Quote Selected
wtf exhaust.?.?.? Reply #5 – May 27, 2010, 12:45:23 AM alright, sounds good to me, i'll call them in the morning. i'll try my best to get the core elbow shipped off tomorrow. Quote Selected
wtf exhaust.?.?.? Reply #6 – May 27, 2010, 12:57:40 AM Take your time. Let me know how the car runs with the 3" exhaust on it. Maybe I'll get to put one on my own TC soon. Might help if I could quit buying parts cars. Quote Selected

wtf exhaust.?.?.? Reply #9 – May 27, 2010, 11:45:08 AM so they also just said that the bolts to take off the elbow break very easily, so im going to have to bring it home after they get done, cut off some piping and take the elbow off myself and then take it somewhere to get it welded....

Reply #10 – May 27, 2010, 11:56:04 AM Quote from: SR71blackbird;323392so they also just said that the bolts to take off the elbow break very easily, This part is true.Let them soak in penetrating oil for a bit, and take your time. You still will probably break 1 or 2 in the process, and need to deal with the broken bolts. Quote Selected
wtf exhaust.?.?.? Reply #11 – May 27, 2010, 01:06:39 PM what kind of penetrating oil should i get? and thats the best way to get the broken bolts out without taking out the turbo? Quote Selected
