ej22e turbo help

[96legacyL]

I'm in the process of turboing my 96 bd and I need help with the up pipe and down pipe. I need pic so I can show the shop and get a basic idea how it should be done. I got single port heads and it's my dd so can't change the heads. Any advice would help pic would too. Thanks for the advice.

are you going to fabricate a full turbo kit or are you just asking for the manifold?

You need:
Turbo manifold / exhaust manifold (designed for single port)
OEM wrx up-pipe
OEM wrx turbo
OEM wrx stock downpipe (bellmouth flange)

Which pictures and designs do you need?

dont you need to notch your crossmember if u use the stock wrx up&down pipe. i got everthing i just need the up pipe and down pipe. As for the pictures i just wanna see what ppl have used as there custom up pipe. just to get a basic idea of how its set up. found this http://www.rs25.com/forums/f7/t103975-d ... build.html (http://www.rs25.com/forums/f7/t103975-drumbee23s-turbo-build.html) but its for impreza and idk if it would work with my bd.

Oh.. ur using a n/a x-member.. Then yes you do..

Why not just pickup a cheap Gen 1 Legacy SS x-member.. Cheap and pretty common at the junk yard.

Try the DIY forum. I hear there's a topic that is really close to what you need! :wink:

I take it you are planning on using the stock header/modified stock header?
