All on all a pretty good entry and good outlet collector and reduction to the throttle pipe. Tom V.

Two 3.5" diameter circles equals area just barely less than area of a 5" circle. Figure wall thickness of both it will take a bit of stretching of the 5" . Shouldn't be too hard to make them merge.

Finally
Had it running for a couple of weeks now.had a lot of little stuff to get done to be road worthy.went on a 4 to 5 Mile loop today and all is well.still need a convertor that can handle the abuse,I'll be adding a innercooler soon along with bolt thru 9 in case,3.50 gear,chrome moly yokes and better driveshaft.in the pics I do have a tapered k&n air filter that's on it now.

I like how you plumbed the wastegate back in to the exhaust. Great looking job man!

Agree, with Charlie, very clean installation of a Single Turbo package.

Did you form the end of the tube to go into the d-port shape of the flange? Do you think the 1 5/8" tube size is sufficient? |

Headers
Yes I formed pipes to d post.as far as the pipe diameter I believe from what I've read 1 5/8 Will be sufficient.maybe someone else can chime in on this subject but I think in my set up velocity is key.

If you ever looked at the pipes on John Welter's BIG single turbo firebird you would see that
Travis Quillen paid a lot of attention to the "smaller" pipe diameters feeding that turbo. Tom V.

Did the headers begin life as SBC turbo headers like these? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-Camar...dGe6mzUqaHCYVQ |

Intercooler and other stuff
I got a treadstone tr1245 intercooler.i ran the piping through some holes that I had previously made in the core support for some ducting on my own ram air years ago.it was a little tight in places but overall not too big of a deal to install.also toughened up my 9 inch and went with a 3.50 richmond gear.my driveshaft is a pst 3 1/2 chrome moly with 1350 u joints and strange th400 yoke.sorry for the upside down pics.

Very nice. Just my .02, my cooler did not work under the car like that and I had a fan on it. For local drives maybe, but long drives the tranny would heat up to 250.
I put the cooler up front runs 170. |

Trans cooler

The way that it is mounted the cooler has very little air flow passing thru the fins. A scoop may not help because the other side would be the floorboard blocking the exit air flow. Up in front where the cooler has a good shot at air from the grill is best. Usually at speeds over 30 mph if the cooler/radiator sees any direct air flow there is massive amounts of air passing thru the coolers. Tom V.
