The Charge Pipes and Blow-off Valve
All of my charge pipes are 2.5"
except for the first bend from after the turbo, which is a 2"->2.5" 90 degree
bend, which also converts the size. I built all of the charge pipes with
aluminized steel U bends, chopped and welded to fit. I'm using T-bolt
clamps, as worm gear clamps dont necessarily like 15+psi. I'm happy with
how it's set up currently, but in the future, I'm going to change the
chargepipes, and have a more direct route from turbo to intake manifold.
The Blow-off valve is a Blitz Dual Drive. I mounted it
on the pipe just before the 90 degree bend that goes into the intake manifold.
It works quite well, it's not the loudest valve, but is very high quality.It is
adjustable from the top of the valve. With a nut and a alen key. The vacuum
line going in has a uncrewable fitting, that also swivels to any direction you
need. The valve also came with two different output pieces, the one you see,
and one with a filter on it, for cars that have excessive vacuum.
