I am planning on doing a turbo set-up and was wondering was size exhaust piping i will need? and i have a v6 cam. and i was also wondering where i could possible go to have custom performance headers made for me.
you say, look for tony's post... he has a lot of posts haha
wicked, if you are gonna turbo, you dont need headers... im pretty sure ben is making headers with his turbo kits... if i were you i would worry about saving up money till the kit is done... then worry about the little shit afterwards. exhaust before turbo is gonna be completely different from exhaust after a turbo... size should be 2.5 inch before, and 3 inch after. custom im talking... also the routing of the pipes is gonna be different.
oh, and i dont know about the size of the throttle bodes, 3vz, 1mz, 7m and 2jz. i will find out soon tho, i have 3 3vz TBs here, 1 1mz, and access to 3 7m TBs and 1 2jz tb. sorry for being off topic on that.
like what i meant but headers was the exhaust manifold and the additional header in the back of the engine. but like i was planning on getting a cat converter and the exhaust pipe at 3" now and put it on later when i have everything. because i want to put everything on once i have everything. and believe me i know all the custom work that is goin to go into this.
Cant believe i got flamed by a NOOB, HAHA
me with hammer hitting noob

Razo ok i have a v6. so there is a set of headers. i know what the intake manifold is. there are headers behind the whole entire block that u cant see. go to search adn look up custom headers and there is a dude called bucket of rust or sumthin like that and he showed a picture of the two headers that go on to the 1mzfe. i know that i have to have a custom exhaust manifold for the turbo.
but ya zoni do u knwo anywhere i could go to get some custom headers for the 1mz. i searched and there is a guy that makes custom headers for our engines. but is there anyplace else i go to that is actually in the states?

there are turbo manifolds because if there wasnt then how would the exhaust that spins the turbine get to the turbo? so to run a turbo u need a least 1 turbomanifold and a header in the back and u use the downpipe to connect them in the end.

im not sure if ben is making new manifolds and then a pipe off of them or if he is just making pipes that connect right to the head... not sure... i will find out soon.
ok zoni thanks fill me in later when u figure out the whole throttle body thing. and if u find someone who makes good custom turbo manifolds make a post.

Headers or stock manifolds -> Y-pipe -> Up pipe -> Turbo -> Down pipe -> Cat....
That way you drive the turbo with both banks. By the looks of the Shiftgate site (although it hasn't been updated in a while) that's how theirs will be also.
