Sorry about the crappy pictures.. If you hold Ctrl and press minus it might help by making them smaller. The timing & balance shaft belts are about 5 yrs and 16K miles old, I'll check them and decide. With 41k miles on the car now, I think it's it's almost broken in. The Fabspeed exhaust is a work of art; it's a shame to put it under the car where nobody can see it. I'll put a bunch of wooden blocks under it before crawling underneath to avoid being squished
If anyone wants any more pictures let me know, I can take them as I go. The turbo will have to come off..again.

 

Car looks great

 

Looking great!

 

I've always liked gray 951's... beautiful. Oh, and the new exhaust is nice too

 

soon you'll want a bigger turbo

 

That's the kind of projects I love. Nice job.

 

Keep the pics coming! Its WAY better than a reference sensor thread...

 

...and if a new down pipe is going in... now's the perfect time!!

 

here let me help..






























DO IT

 

you got me there!

 

Ha ha thanks guys, but I think I'll stick with the Vitesse turbo for now. Hopefully this will help it spool sooner.

 

Very nice Kevin, car looks good and thanks for the feedback on the exhaust. You will definitely enjoy the improved sound and power.
Thanks,

 

Thanks Alex. By the way I think that an O2 sensor bung should be mandated by law on aftermarket exhausts.

Unfortunately my winter project has turned into a summer project. For anyone wondering, this is how you keep the miles low on your 951

1st picture- Swain coated downpipe
2nd picture- making a 304 SST bung
3rd picture- figuring out where it goes
4th picture- Welded on
5th picture- I was feeling bad about my TIG welding ability until I compare it to the (leaking) one I removed.

The picture makes it look like it's in the wrong position, but I think it's pretty close. Maybe I'll get it put back together before it snows

 

Nice. good weld

 

Looks good. We have considered Fabspeed system for son's project 951 as well. Btw, what color your car is? Looks a lot like Diamond Blue what is my son's project car's color.
