You sure you got the right DP going to the right turbo?

335xiRT1 · 10-10-2009, 06:43 AM

Yea it's def the right downpipe on the right turbo.

enrita · 10-10-2009, 08:08 AM

Anyone else experience a similiar situation with dowpipes??? or is mine a defect.

The top portion of the downpipe against the turbo is not flush, ive tried everything i cant get it to work. Been at it for like 3 hours.

Any advice would be great...

we had a similar problem with the VK dp's... the flange that sits in the turbo is a tight, tight fit.... Just keep working at it. I know it's a tight space, but try twisting a bit with the exhaust bolts not connected to the dp's to give you some more wiggle room. Shoot me a PM if you think you might need some help... we're right in NJ, so not too far from u

Good luck!

Just keep trying at it, I had the same problem until I found out that the rear was hitting the bracket where you would screw the stock dps thus not letting the vk downpipe sit flush with the turbo housing...make sure the vk is not hitting anything in the back...thats my sugestion..

Jonny550 · 10-10-2009, 08:52 AM

you prolly just have to screw with it for a while.

YES, had this issue as well... make sure you bend the stock dp bracket in the back out of the way enough... good info

335xiRT1 · 10-10-2009, 09:28 AM

Thanks for the help. I will try to move that bracket out of the way in the rear. I will go at it again later tonight. I gotta work 16 hours today. I'll keep you posted

LKG4CRVS · 10-10-2009, 10:33 AM

I had the same problem with the forward downpipe. I measured the flange diameter of the VK downpipe with a set of calipers and found out that it was .040 to .050 inch larger that the stock pipes. I used a file to to bring the diameter down and it slipped right in without a problem.
