This time I'm building some headers for my car. I'm running production style TA heads and the headers need to be stock turbo location for xTSM. They are 1.5" primaries with a 2" crossover. 304SS tube and mild steel RJC flanges. I thought I would save money building my own, but I could have bought a set of used ATR's for what the materials cost. But this way I get exactly what I want and I know they are built well.
For the most part they will look like ATR headers, but the v-band connections will be in different spots. I'm planning to run the 3 bolt flange turbo for xTSM and a 4 bolt turbo for TSL in the future. Everything from the head to the collector will be the same for both sets of header, but I'll swap merge's and crossovers to change between the two.
Everything is tacked together at this point and I want to check them on my actual motor before burning everything in.
Raw material.
