Had a very productive weekend with all the rain, Saturday a buddy came down and helped me get the DRL/turn signals properly working and figured out the wiring for the fog lights
94 Blazer 2dr 5.3 Twin Turbo (Tyclone)
- Thread starter mclellan83
- Start date
Then yesterday feel like we were again very productive for only a few hours getting the turbo hot side mocked up for the most part until I get some more parts
and then tucked back away in the hole

Weld a v-band onto the manifolds - it will offer much more servicibility in the event you need to pull a manifold. You’ll thank me after you’ve bent a rod or two, or knocked out a head gasket
I was thinking the exact same thing.
If you're fabbing things per the specific vehicle, build in serviceability so life is easier when it comes to repair or maintenance.
Appreciate boys, that was already the plan. Order 2.5"er's this morning, had a bunch of 3" but they are too big for this setup, the other headers I was going to use were 3" so I planned for those with a bunch of them. So order 2 sets of v bands, 2 44mm wastegate inlet flanges, and 2 1 3/4" stainless 180 elbows to mock in the rest of the hot side. Guess that means hopefully next week can get it all welded up and move on to the cold side
For guys like me with devious minds, ( and there's a few of those on here), I'll tell you what I saw. You said you "like to show off my junk" and further in you said, "here is how I got her"! LMAO! Just a little good natured jabbing, buddy!
Good luck with your umm...build! 😆

Got the elbows to be able to pipe in the blow off's, but still waiting for the v bands to get into the USPS system. Closest things to me and of course the last to ship, was hoping to have it all by Friday but we will see how that goes. The flanges for Tial's will be here Friday but likely won't have the v bands in time
