i've seen this mod in some of the Japanese mags.

looks like it is just a straight piece cut into the cast pipe and a flat piece welded in...

sorry can't be of more help, but I wanted to do this also

what dose it do if u split it?

what dose it do if u split it?

supposed to smooth out the flow from the outlet of the two turbos where they join in the twin turbo pipe.

you'll see that one basically needs to do a 90 degree turn into the flow direction of the other.

i believe this same type of trick can also yield out compressor chuffing or shuffling, the problem usually arises from intake piping that uneven or inbalanced and the joiner pipe evens out the pressure difference in front of the compressor intake wheels

keep the info comming guys, has anyone done it.

[ali-turko]

thx guys seems like its worth doin

[gun32gtr]

would this mainly be done on modded cars,i.e new turbos etc etc to have the best advantages

BUMP! Very curious on this too as I've seen it in Jap. mags.

well if anyone has a twin turbo pipe I will cut it and weld the separator in

You can buy these pre made from Japan pretty cheaply if you want to keep your stock one.

most of them are around $150 exchange though... I tried getting one

[justinfox]

Yes exchange only:

So, apparently better turbo response?! We could all do with better response!!!

interesting idea but is a bit crude

and easy mod to do has anyone seen a before after dyno?

the greddy piping kit i guess would be a nicer way to deal with this problem but cost more tho.

OK I got one!!! It's been welded so beautifully too with very smooth proper flow design inside.

I put it on today and noticed no difference at all!!!

Anyone want it? I'm taking it off again.

[paulr33]

were you expecting to see a difference?

[justinfox]

I guess I was?

[pnblight]

I guess I was?

i guess the problem here would be if there was a gain it would be small a few % (maybe) and it's been proven that a driver/rider can not pick power changes of under 5 %(or less) difference up or down. The only way to really know would be dyno and thats expensive and if you can't feel the difference its not much and most likely not worth the effort and money to find out.

ps nice idea tho, I wonder if the full after market piping kits make much difference over std.

[justinfox]

pnblight: Yup agreed. Didn't hurt for me to try it, only cost me $110. If anyone wants to try the modified pipe (welding is perfect!!!) for the same price I paid for it ($110 shipped), let me know.

No great idea to try something a little different and even better that you were willing to share your results with SAU, as this is what i consider the real purpose of this forum. GREAT WORK justinfox
