ok thanks i read it an i understand the down tube but what i still dont get is how its hooked up. sorry still confusing me

 

[grey5.0beast]

k the headers have a flange(connector that bolts to the exhaust side of the turbo) on them, they are usually flipped so that the headers point forward instead of backwards. That way the turbo is powered by the exhaust side(turbine side) which spins a fan and exits through the downpipe. There is a shaft that connects thhe exhaust side and the intake side(compression side) of the turbo that spins the compressor fan which then pumps air through the cold side tubing (can go through intercooler) into the intake. If that didn't help I can explain it in a lil better detail, I have been contemplating a Master Power T70 build myself, just working the funds.

AWESOME, i considered a turbo build for about....10 minutes and I realised Im broke and it would take me a few years to complete it

Alrightey Ryan, read that about ten times and you'll know almost anything you want to know bout how they work! And the diagrams rock!! Freshmen year I did a research paper on turboes and that is where I learned almost everything.

i thought that work program was for stupid people

 

[grey5.0beast]

no it can be for class in which you leave and work if you already have enough credits to graduate.

 

[grey5.0beast]

By the tim I will have graduated I will have taken 7 science classes when only 3 are required to graduate, but I want to be a doctor or something along those lines. So far I have taken Gifted Bio 1, AP Chemistry, Gifted Chem 1, AP Bio, AP physics, Anatomy and Physiology, and I plan on tkaing one next year... yes I am a munster

science has never really interested me. i like math but i got a A in math and a A+ in science. and our science teacher is a bitch.

its 21 credits to grad right?

 

[grey5.0beast]

Its 22 here, then 24 for College prep with Distinction, I am aiming for 25 or 26...
