I'm sure he'll be thrilled. LOL.

That brass stock is expensive. We're working on a different machining approach to the aluminum. Aluminum stock is significantly less expensive, even when much larger.

What's the difference between the N/A & turbo caps?

 

Arrangement of single or double nippled caps and the crossover is in front of the intake away from the heat of the turbo. In reality ALL can use the turbo setup so that's all I would concentrate on making, more universal.

 

the factory turbo caps dead head #7 cylinder and the 6 and 7 are 3 way to cross over

ive got them crossing over 4 to 5 in the pic, but you get the idea

 

Someone said in another thread that someone installed their turbo and kept the lines N/A style to avoid the dead-heads, anyone here that did it? Did you put some kind of insulation?

 

I did. And no insulation. Just ran that hose long enogh to ride along the valley pan. Put 10k miles with no isues so far.

 

Cool. I'll be doing the same then when I get the new caps as well.

I guess the line running across the valley pan can't be any any worse than the diesel pouring all over it from leaking caps, to look at it that way!

 

Cost on caps?

 

let me know when ready! i have been dealing with plastic caps since 1986. might need 3 sets

 

i did too and put the hose as low as i could get it under the turbo

 

Those look great, hope they hold up. That would be nice not having to replace plastic caps anymore.

 

hell yea if one pops a leak its only a couple bucks for the orings

 

if you start to make em u will corner the market lol

 

The material cost on the brass caps exceeds the cost of a regular return line kit you can purchase online.

It's supposed to get into the low single digits and possibly below zero around Wednesday. I want to see if I have any issues.

 

i would love to have a set of those...i may have to try to make those for my reverse engineering project. then i could make em on the CNC at school..or you could just send me a set. you know for reasearch and development.

 

i would pay for brass before alu
i think it would take the heat better
