Anyone Modify A Td05 Exaust Housing For Screamer

[LedZepLen]

Has anyone modified the what looks like a highly inefficient exaust outlet to run a screamer pipe?

It looks to me if you got a peice formed to match the opening that the wastegate lets gas through then took the stitch welded cap off and helded a peice of pipe that follows the angel of the dump pipe it would work.

But has anyone done this??

Exhaust turbine exit can have a groove machined out, so a piece of appropriate OD pipe fits snugly inside it. Thats then welded through the appropriate dump pipe flange, and flared out to match your exhaust width. The cavity behind the gate flap has your "screamer" pipe mounted it it.

Tis o l d school, you should be able to hunt some pictures down.

People often have a hard time ridding leaks, as the style of actuator and general flap design sux, that plus ur time to make it all up relegates it a relative rarity to see done these day

If it's been done then it' a good thing. I'll bring it to a Fab and machine shop i used to work at, their never really busy and i know an amazing TIG welder that i'd make sure did it all. The worst that could happen is they somehow f**k up the turbo and i get them to have a Gt2860 or 71 shipped to me with a Jap Speed screamer pipe which will be the very clear fix to the problem before they even touch it.

Instead of having a groove machined out i'll just have a peice of scrap 10 guage formed to fit and a $5 peice of galvanized exaust pipe from an auto store with a 90 degree bend already in it tig welded to the opening.

I'll just have them pop that cap off with a die grinder and zip-cut and just have the excess cutting filled and grinded.

Aslong as it's loud it's good. Plus i could see it flowing exaust gas more efficiently in the top end.
