I scored the DP from GN Northwest here in Everett, WA for $150, since I was swapping to stock headers, TE44, and internal wastegate. It was a great deal considering the flange with puck is like $130 from RJC, but it does go bang bang bang on the frame so I will be modifying it to work with the Chevelle frame. Intercooler is in but I havent welded up the boost pipes yet... Got to get on that cause the intake temps are crazy right now.
Too bad "Tig masters" are no more i really could use that first part of the DP Hate to pay $400.00 plus to cut up an of the shelf full length DP.
Yea I was pretty happy when I called them and asked if they had a used or beat up TH style DP. I knew I only wanted the first 12in or so. Its kind of nice that it goes from stainless to mild cause I will cut the pipe past the stainless and weld on the mild part. Once thats done I can mount the exhaust and start driving it to work to get some seat time with the megasquirt.
thats what i did, I picked up a used THDP that was rotted at the bottom and pretty good at the turbo. But after 3 years of using it i don't think it will last much longer plus i want to redo the DP because it still hits the frame if i bottom out the car and i want to add a WB sensor and ceramic coat it, hate to do that to a DP thats not going to last.
Which Megasquirt kit did you buy? How was the initial setup and tuning? I am also @ a crossroad with the stock ECM and saw several cars running MS @ the track last night. Thanks.
