J Pipe

[agarcia892003]

Hey guys i've been looking all over the place and I can't find a vendor that sells J pipes with a nipple for boost source. Anyone know where I can find one? Thanks in advanced.

MadDSM.com - John, he should have a few. standard j-pipe anyways I dunno
about an aftermarket one for a front mount or anything.

Call up places that you would want to buy the J pipe from and ask if they have any nipples lying around that they could weld on for you. No one sells a J pipe with a nipple already on there, at least that I've ever seen.

Check out this thread as it'll give you some ideas as to how you can put your own on.

I seen that SBR sells a J pipe and an additional pipe with a nipple on the 2g install Kit....Just a thought and another option...

Forgive my ignorance here...
But wouldn't you want the manifold to dictate the opening pressure of the wastegate ???

by feeding off the turbo it would open up at the pressure it would see at that point without taking in account the pressure drop across the intercooler.
but thats just me.
Im running a stock setup and only seen 7 lbs when i was running the factory location.
Once i t-ed into my BOV line i picked up 3 psi puttingme to 10psi.
As for the nipple on the turbo... put a plug on it an sealed it.

Thats been discussed more then enough times. Theres reasons why you do not tap into the bov line, even though most do it without problems. I really don't frrl like digging the reasons up.

If you wanted, you could also try something like this. Also look thruogh this thread for some additional advice on attaching a boost source to the J-pipe.

I would be worried about it leaking (obvious boost leak source). Even with Teflon paste, silicone couplers aren't made to be tapped. Nice try though. It isn't a whole bunch of money, so if you wanted to try and prove me wrong, go right ahead and make a purchase. If it doesn't leak, then kudos to you. But I bet it would.

that looks alot better than the coupler tap.

I agree with DSMunknown. I would be worried about there being a boost leak at that spot. It looks like a simple solution but drilling, tapping, and JB welding (or real welding) will yield a much better result.

This is what I did with my stock one..since I'm broke and can't aford a new one for 70 bucks I went the cheap way and spent a little over 6 dollars to do it.

and ofcourse the nipple is welded and I will be getting some clams for where the piece of pipe goes in. hope it works well since i haven't test it.
