Pure800 install help

awilki0101 · 05-16-2020, 04:09 PM

So decided to do the install today. The teardown went pretty straightforward minus one oil return line that was difficult but now the install is giving me issues. I have a ER catless downpipe that just won't line up. Never had an issue with stock turbo. Anyone else experience this? Also inlet elbow fit a little off but made it work. Just can get the downpipe on

Yeah, I found getting all the exhaust components aligned with brackets wasn't easy on the first try. I ended up disconnecting the axleback, midpipe, and downpipe, walked away for a bit and then came back and reassembled everything, paying close attention to the rotation of the downpipe and got everything to line up perfectly. It will work, just takes some patience.

Ha this is exactly what I have done. I got frustrated, pulled the whole exhaust, grabbed a beer and called it a night and said I would revisit this morning to finish.

Well after a fresh set of eyes this morning and 10 min of studying I bent the hanger on my downpipe about 1/2" I got it to magically pop right in, slid the exhaust back in and started her up. No leaks and runs smooth. Even with stock air box can hear the turbo spool quite nice. I would like to look into a new intake that fits properly though.
