Spring thaw coming though I hope. The lads are plowing Trail Ridge Road, hope I've got my Mini back before it's open.

Unfortunately the hot rod isn't mine, it's just a project that was in the shop and caught my eye for some photos.

I'd seriously think about lagging the pipe from the ehaust manifold to the turbo, that will keep the gasses hotter and therefore quicker to run the turbine.

Is that the same as insulating? I'm probably going to use some of the insulating exhaust wrap I have lying around. 1275 with Back Door Turbo |

Lagging, yes exhaust wrap, it is quite amazing how much t would cool along that length.

would that not create quite alot of back pressure which shurely would not be too good for the first turbo?

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder. On 15th Aug, 2011 robert said:

Yer it probably would cause alot of backpressure, specially with them being so far apart. |

i wouldnt think thats twin turboed because can see the "Y" piece from the LCB, just the one then, but i would also have thought there would be rather alot of wait time David. |

this is an interesting setup however i cant see any advantages, only disadvantages, does it not make the turbo super laggy? is there a picture of the back of the engine around the carb/ engine bay :)
Yes i moved to the darkside |

Just came across this thread whilst searching. Gotta say i love these type of installs, only recently came across this sorta thing, first one i saw was the hillclimb 205 gti that was featured in PPC magazine with a turbo muffler. Someone should try twin turboing a mini like this  :) turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)
