Twisted Turbo

[Guest]

What do you think is a ressonable price for twisted turbo up+down pipe for gc8?

[dubbedup]

anywhere from bout 200-500, depending on heatwrapeed, direct bolt on to your turbo or another turbo etc.

I know rage do a kit but am unsure what it cost.

Yea was looking at installing twisted to my rex running high-flow td05...

[Swindog]

theres a twisted turbo diy thread on here if you search for it. give you some insight into the workings of it

[driftrex]

price will depend largely on whether you can do all the work/welding yourself or if you have to buy off the shelf parts and have a professional fit them.

cost me $540 to get all my pipework done by a professional and he came to my work to do it with his mobile workshop, but that was external wastegate plumbing as well and he didnt make a new up-pipe as i had already made an adapter to fit my t3 flanged turbo. was a full 3 inch downpipe though back to the midpipe, and external piping follows the down pipe with a flexi in it, and everything heatwrapped.

Wow that sounds like a pretty good price, a guy down the line was gonna charge me 2g

I'd say it would cost 1.5-2k if you dropped your car off at a workshop and picked up a day or two later expecting it to all be mint. There's generally alot of labour involved and some things like braided oil feed line don't come cheaply.

[Guest]

Would that price include the piping or just the labour.....

1.5-2g should include everything, so the car is ready to drive out the door when you pick it up type thing.

[Guest]

I live up in the far North and was wondering if any one would be able to recommend a good installer, their's some really dodggy mecanics up these ways or they just dont know what there doing...

[off2harrys]

id say that would include the piping it doesnt cost fark all to buy the piping,unfortunately it sounds as if your like me and wouldnt have a clue how to make yourself,thus unless you know someone who can do it,then your prob better off just buying the rage 1,bout 600 i think for the kit,still have to get braided oil line and then depending on fmic or top mount may have to get custom pipng for that also (may just be able to use some silicon joiners).still 2gs sounds pretty dear just to twist i was quoted 2500 to twist my garrett turbo and to flip the manifold running the fmic piping under the headlights

they arent actually that expensive i've discovered, Apex Autos in Hamilton did me a hose the other day including welding on 2 fitting in dash 6 braided hose with Speedflow anodised fittings for $100, so expect $100 per hose.

id say thats pretty cheap for anodised stuff.

[Guest]

must be quite a long process to install, depend on the installer I guess-the more experence the better, the closest sub mecanic is warren @ sublab whangarei anyone dealt with them before?

[Guest]

that sounds resonable

[Guest SPANKU]

i cant remember what my rage one cost in the old days think it was like $900 totaly

even with the kit you need to do some custom work. such as water outlet and getting braided oil inlet line which will cost up to $100 including fittings

[Guest]

Is it an all day process to install twisted turbo...

[wrx_lou]

would take someone with the proper tools and workshop a couple of few hours to install a premade setup if all the pieces were in hand.

[gotasuby]

im trying to sell my up and down pipes if your interested, to suit standard subaru turbos.

[Guest SPANKU]

it should take half a day to do it if you got all the water hose sus and the inlet oil line. remove down pipe and uppipe.

got a photo of it with a standard vf22 somewhere here

[Guest]

running fmic with xtractors and high flow td05 if that's any help, guy selling up&down pipe on trademe heatwraped ment to be direct fitment for 400 hundy-is this a good price....

did you read what everyone said about prices???

Read the comments then think to yourself if its a good price or not

[wrx_lou]

might not fit yours if you got aftermarket headers. I know that set up wouldnt fit mine, but i've got 4-2-1 tuned headers that meet a couple of inches away from the turbo.

[Guest]

true dat

[WRXER]

Yeah I had to get a custom setup done for mine with aftermarket headers, definitely wasn't cheap lol try at least doubling even tripling the costs for a realistic price if thats the case.
