Want to run this by the board, I have a 86 951 trying
to install the tial from SFR, have all the proper adapters
from Tim and copper gaskets,heres the catch the car has
a 1 piece cross over pipe, the top of the tial if tighted down
would really jam on the toq tube, i did the search thing and tryed
everthing mentioned so i call Tim at SFR the two options he gave
me are, grind the tube or cut and reweld the exhaust tube removing
some pipe. i had all adapters loose. can anybody shead
some light on this?

I had to cut and reweld mine

After a stage 1 header install mine did the same thing. My two options were grind the tq tube or get the two piece x over. I opted for the later.

I was thinking about getting a Tial soon too. Is this a common thing? Mine is an 87 but I thought this was suppposed to be a pretty low hassle upgrade.

With 87 you should be fine. If you have 2 piece pipe install is easy.

Hall951

Not going to grind the touq tube or cut and weld the 1 piece crossover
forget that i will just send it back and get the dp from lindsey. there can't be that much difference if my goal is only 330-350 rwhp. anybody with pros-
cons on the two wastegates.

Hall951

I will sell the tial if tim can't take it back, will find out wedsday.

Lemme know if you're going to be selling the tial...

Maciek

I may also be interested in the Tial, of course, Doc has the first right to it.

Hall951

Doc you'll have first dibs on it if tim won't take it back

Hall951

Sorry Doc just finished talking to Tim he's going to take it back.

You can also use an angled port screwed into the top which is shorter than the top port that comes with the TiAL. There are a few people here with the 86 that have done it. I think SamGrant did this with his.

I recommend making the the Tial work over switching to a modified stock unit. Especially, when you'll be spending another $100 on the Lindsey.

its easier on a 87

daniel951

just for thought your stock wastegate isn't going to hold 350rwhp. If i would just spend the money get a 2 piece crossover.The downpipe will help but only so far since you wastegate is just going to bleed off

Hall951

Its too late, DP from lindsey is on its way, still have the tial
I'am just to busy right now to deal with the fab work, the car
will be going into storage soon have to get it off the jack stands
maybe all keep the tial and if tthe Dp bleeds off than all go through
the headache of changing it. hope this is the first and last time
that i waste money buying two parts the same.
