Single turbo VR4

[Unknownvr4]

Hopefully everything will be right soon but if I'm not done by mid next week I will post the kit for sale. I don't want to give up but I haven't driven my car in 4-5 months

All single turbo setup on a v-engine need a flex section in the secondary unless they use single/double slip merge collectors (and even then a flex section is desirable). This is header 101 stuff and has little to do with the mass of turbo. We aren't talking about yielding the welds we are talking thermal fatigue. As mentioned, its CTE (basic material properties) and the longer the headers the worse it is (especially when constrained between the two heads like a single setup). A completely solid setup won't crack immediately... thats the definition of fatigue. Ray doesn't need a flex section because he's running twins and he does have slip merge collectors which minimize the need (allow for relative movement due to CTE).

How does it feel? I bet it felt good finally getting it up and running, huh?

[Unknownvr4]

Yea... did a few pulls last night.. when i got back i popped the hood and their was oil all over the engine bay and the dipstick was pushed halfway out

The motor has less than 2000 miles on the rebuild so im pretty sure its nothing internal. It has a fairly new oem pcv valve. Someone told me to get a catch can and some krank vents?

[Unknownvr4]

I don't see how I would have to rebuild already

Ok, kit is officially for sale. Will post link to for sale thread in a second.
