Pete, the pic I sent you may have been when the drain lines were teed together. My primary drain runs right into a bung welded into the oil pan.

Tits? :lol:
I have always wondered why the plural term to those wasn't "Titti"? :P

Sorta a little bit. I ordered flanges on sunday, be here tomorrow. I got the manifold flipped and the S300 mounted and figured out where stuff is going to go, mostly. I still need to figure drains before I go too crazy welding pipes together.
What did you use for the hot pipe, schedule 40? I was looking at Snoots pics and it looked like he used regular exhaust pipe. I sent him a PM but he lived up to his screen name didn't bother to answer.

I'm not getting much done overall, still dragging ass. I did put in a whole day at work today, but came home and flopped on the couch. I still need to fix the white POS. Saturdays project I hope.

Yeah, I used sch. 40. I've seen people use normal exhaust pipe, but sch. 40 isn't that much more money and will hold up better.

I've been told the same.... I've also heard that Snoot's hot pipe cracked a while back and I believe he is using schedule 40 now.

Thanks guys! 8) I may use regular to mock it up to get an idea of what I need. I can get the sch 40 easy enough, there are several places in the city.

Still using the same setup... No schedule 40 pipe still using tube. The part that cracked was my turbo adaptor just before the hot pipe. It was a machine flaw that caused the problem. I ended up welding it back together a couple years ago and all is still good.

I am only driving the truck in the winter months and run it around the block a few times to keep the battery charged and seals lubed in the summer.

I have been thinking of selling it to tell you the truth but not cheap..

Oh, my............ have you gotten out of the diesel world, or has the p pump world bit you?

I really just may be moving on to a newer car or something. Don't really drive the truck much anymore and I never had it for hauling or towing just a daily driver and some drag racing. It would be missed in the winter months but a car with AWD could do what I need.

Snoot, which turbos are you using in your twin setup? Do you happen to know the specs?
