Need help n opinions
So here is the deal guys I've been wantin to do somethin different from everyone else for a while. Something that I haven't seen done on any car yet let alone one of our cars. My idea is to make a full titanium polished fmic kit minus the front mount itself. What do yal think? I can get the metal for cheap cause I work at a fabrication shop n I'm a welder. I don't have a turbo kit yet but I am going fi by summer tine so if anyone out there could give me the specs on a greddy kit piping that would b wonderful. Please include pipe size bend degrees etc.
best thing is to get your turbo installed first and then figure out the lengths/angles/cuts for the piping on your own. it was a long and tiring process when my friend and i did it for my SC setup, but for a turbo it will be SO much easier.
personally i don't see the point of titanium piping. it's so expensive and the process of welding titanium requires so many more measures to prevent oxidation of the metal (which i'm sure you already know). the weight savings won't make any tangible difference since you'll be turbo. i guess it would look cool if you could give it that blue/purple burnt look though. also i think titanium might have a higher heat capacity meaning it might be able to serve as a heat sink for the intake air. but i'm not sure if this effect would be tangible at all.
