360 Turbo temporary exhaust solution

Post by Ride_on »

I need some ideas for my 360 turbo project to get the thing MOTd so I can then complete it with spraying, custom exhaust etc that need to be done more professionally.

I can only do very basic fabrication and am thinking of joining the 360 downpipe to the 940 downpipe, somehow. I'm going the dropped engine mount route so turbo will be in the standard 940 place.

Hmm I think some sort of 940-360 downpipe combination might be tricky. If you don't have PAS a 2" or 2.5" pipe should be any easy fit (a mate had a 3" downpipe on his - just!). If you can fab some sort of downpipe... maybe using some sort of flexi joint into the standard 360 middlebox you'd be doing pretty good! I don't think much of the 360 downpipe would be much use though as it goes from 2-1.

No PAS, but I can weld (badly). Sound like cutting and welding in patches to the 940 downpipe might work to get it to the mid section.
