Well your Tig's are nice Your Mig could be better. I wish I had a Tig :(

Try turning the speed down and the heat up a little? Stich weld's always look great but take longer.

Nice work though. Turbo's a little over kill IMO but go for it lol. Borg Warner makes good stuff.

Did you think about running a variable vane exhaust housing?

There was nothing mig welded here. And unfortunately I did not do the welding here. I have not started learning yet. Just been working on mig welding this year. No interest in any fancy housing, especially when we got this thing for so cheap.

Probably talking about one of these. My buddy has one on his Camaro with his Borg and he says it make it spool about 1000 RPMs sooner.

But for $479, probably out of your budget.

He is talking about the technology some of the porsche's and trucks are using. Basically it is these little fingers that open and close altering the A/R of a turbine housing.

I herd those are junk btw not knocking your friend. I two thought it was a good idea but honestly your no changing the a/r just the amount of air let in to move the turbo.

With the variable vane you are changing the wheel of the turbo pretty much with out changing the wheel. make sense?

Nope, your wrong. Those veins change the volume of the housing. The wheel is not altered in any way.

And those valves are not junk. They direct flow to one side of the exhuast wheel to increase the amount of flow to one side, which in turn decreases spool time dramatically. Sound Performance perfected this for the supra guys and they work very well in their world. We are not interested in fast spool. I am not sure why people can't get over that and are afraid of a turbo of any significant size. We are looking for ultimate horsepower where we need it the most. Super high rpms to achieve the mph we are striving for.

This was on a Camaro with a rear mount turbo kit. For sure wouldnt work on a car with a properly divided exhaust manifold, would just plug two cylinders exhaust flow completely.

+2 Lol Check your sources big lady.

for one all this does is restrict the path. Your dividing the air yes but once it passes the valve it scatters. If they dropped the divider down farther I could see some Improvement over there previous design.

Basically they mocked a twin scroll design but half ars..

A true divided housing consist of this.. http://www.full-race.com/catalog/produc ... ts_id=2188

Note: the twin waste gates

But I will agree, in our case for Drag racing and Mile run's single scroll is best for top end. Twin scroll is king for road racing. But that's what anti-lag is for..
