Downpipe question
Hey all,
First post here on this forum. I just picked up a turbo kit for my 1997 NA Miata and it has pretty much all I need to get it going (Turbo, Manifold, Injectors, AFR Guage, Intercooler, Rad, XEDE ECU) Although it does not have a downpipe and it is stressing me out on what will fit. From the turbo it has a 2.5inch (ID) VBand. I still have my stock cats. Is there a common downpipe people run with the same setup I have? Thank you! |
We don't have any idea what setup you have. Every different manifold and turbo needs its own down pipe. I am willing to bet the guy or gal was selling it all because they could not find a down pipe for their hobbled together mix match of parts.

^ what he said
Manifold/downpipe is usually sold together because brand A might put the turbos outlet flange in a place that puts brand B or brand C's downpipe in the wrong place to connect to the rest of the exhaust or interferes with the body If youre bound to that manifold, a fab shop and custom downpipe is likely your best bet if its a no name brand |
Ok...so I will probably have to get a new manifold/downpipe combo.
No big deal. The manifold looks like the ebay special. Luckly it came with a brand new Garrett spooly boy :D |
If the turbo is a vband, odds are its an ebay turbo, not a garett

This is the setup. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...7ef216a2cc.jpg Garrett AR/80 |
Ebay manifold, Garrett turbo with a vband elbow bolted on.
You will have to custom fab a downpipe. Or scrap the china manifold and get a real manifold/dp combo. Fm, begi, kraken etc... |
If you go the downpipe fab route, ditch the vband adapter and get a flange that mates directly to the turbo. The rear shelf doesn't provide a lot of room to work with back there.

I will probably end up buying the kraken downpipe.
