do they not have mandrel bends in the old country? If you have the time and skill, why not make your own. Everything on mine was custom.. (4cyl) and I think I would do it again.

Re: has anyone made thair own turbo pipes?
There's turbo pipes for £200 in some uk shops. It's a cheap car to turbo really. Fwd isn't so bad... It's what you make of it and what you want from a car.

Re: has anyone made thair own turbo pipes?
i am makig my own, i made them pipes today, its a shite pic though, i'm using a turbo off a t3 rs turbo (ford escort) i'm planning on putting the exit pipe on the other side of the chassis leg, this means i'm going to cut up the thing that is hanging down from the left hand side under the bumperRS_OBD'oh_2 wrote:do they not have mandrel bends in the old country?

Why are you not using mandrel bends? Or do they just not show up in the pics?
