Nearly 6 weeks or so. What have I accomplished. Some might see it as just a little bit, but not me!

I used 3/4 aluminum pipe. It melted off about 2 inches from Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:54:34 GMT nathan lemley http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/jyturbo/message/90652 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/jyturbo/message/90652 Boats run aluminum manifolds and turbos. The key is the water cooling and thick enough aluminum. A correct afr (neither too rich nor too lean) is key as well.

My EGT right before the turbo inlet flange is just at 1600 deg at full boogie.
