J-pipeless TDO5H series turbos for 2G's..

[Turbo]

In the time working where I work I have recieved thousands of phone calls. Many of them are from you guys. People with the 2G's
want 16Gs, 19Cs, Big16Gs, 18Gs, 20Gs & Godzilla's (46trim CW). But almost everyone of you hates having to run the J-pipe (in the 2Ginstall kit) to convert from the Garrett to the TDO5H series turbos.
So now everybody is stuck with dilema of a T-28 Garrett series turbos or The TDO5H series turbos.

So what do you think of the idea of a Brand new TDO5H series turbo Ie..16G,Big16G,18G ext.. with a compressor housing on it that will allow you to bolt it up just like a T-28\T-25 & still retain the use of the factory TDO5H series 7cm2 or the 8cm2 turbine housing instead of the much smaller Garrett turbine housing found on the T-25/T-28 series turbos? Of course you would have the option of the larger TDO6 & TDO6H turbine wheels. You will still have to use 1G oil supply & drain lines or ss braided oil lines. BUT you will not have to use that stupid J-pipe !

Enough of me talking ...Lets hear what you guys have to say .

U know my response . . . "Hook a brutha up" If your looking for a test car u know where to find me, . Wouldn't all it take is to turn the compressor housing 180 degrees, weld on an elbow, and relocate the wastegate w/ a bracket? I've actually thought about this in the past 24 hours. Strange huh? Oh well, cant sleep, 10 page paper to finish, I mean clowns will eat me. Hasta!

That seems like a whole lot of bother when people should have a fmic on their cars with upgraded turbos anyway, which would allow you to make your intecooler pipes any way you want pretty well eliminating the J-Pipe and all that nonsense all together.

Instead of the j-pipe and retaining the crappy lower ic pipe why doesn't somebody make a 2G lower ic pipe that has the J bend already made it in for regular turbo's? Wouldn't that be the answer instead of adding onto the turbo and creating a whole other line of turbo's that you must stock and carry? We have upper IC pipes that eliminate the horible bend attached to the throttle body, we have down pipes that eliminate the O2 sensor housing, but nothing to get rid of that Jpipe yet? Ok time to go lay some pipe.

I see your point ! This is good ...thats why I ask you guys for feed back. The making of this turbo is really no problem at all it just requires a special back plate & of course the new compressor housing.
Those are the only things that need to be stocked , which of course already are . I personally , during the installation of my FMIC had a 14B with of course the J-pipe on it. I thought that it might have made for an easier installation if the compressor housing outlet were facing the right way instead of down . But hey , thats why I ask you guys !
