Growing up in Colorado we referred to that stuf from Golden as 'water'. Was grounds for getting thrown out of the state for thinking BUD.

I do owe at least a 6er or more

Thanks again

The "UP" pipes are the 2 "Pipes" that come from the exhaust manifolds "Up" to the Turbo. The exhaust that flows thru them is what drives (powers) the turbo. When the exhaust Exits the turbo.. it the goes thru... what yul hear referred to as: The "Down Pipe". All, are purdy much hidden.. on the back end of the engine.. between It.. and the Firewall.

Hope this helps ??

And if yours are stock they probably leak robbing you of some turbo boost. The IH replacements have better seals. They are a major PITA to replace.

I am sure that your turbo car has some kind of "up" pipe or the turbo wouldn't work.

That is what i figured they were but I have never seen back there on the truck. I am pretty familiar with the rest of it, i just don't have an up pipe on there so that is a bit new to me. Is it common for people to upgrade the up pipes when doing exhaust or anything? Haven't heard much talk of them on the couple forums i frequent. Thanks for the clarification there Joe, appreciate it.

My car has the turbo bolted straight to the manifold and then straight into the downpipe. Well kind of there used to be a cat in between the turbo and downpipe but i may have lost it along the way somewhere

havent heard of any Need to upgrade the up pipes.. for a Daily Driver PSD.

JMO but I think you'de be messing with CFMs & Pressures that are Specific to the Turbo and PCM parameters ??

Somethings are Better Off.. left alone, maybe ;) :dunno
