Uppipe EWG modification APS/GTSPEC/Stock Style

CovertPerformance · 12-08-2008, 12:08 AM

Wanted to provide an alternative to having to buy another uppipe system when you already have a perfectly good uppipe. Especially for thos running the APS system or the GTSPEC/TOMEI 3-bolt style setups. These header/uppipe systems leave the consumer very limited in choices of external wastegate setups. So I thought I would fill that gap and provide some support for those running these systems with bigger turbos and wanting to take advantage of running an external wastegate setup.
I have a few 3-bolt uppipes that can be used on an exchange/core based program so that it will limit downtime for those who use their vehicle as a dd and who need to have their car up and running in a few hours. Or for those not worried about downtime you can always ship me your uppipes and I can modify them to run external wastegates.

You will have the option to run either a 38mm or 44mm Tial wastegate. Dump tubes will be routed to the atmosphere. For those wanting to run an external without the noise, I can offer the option of also sending in your downpipe if you would like the dumbtube to be rerouted back into the downpipe. A flex bellow will be incorporated into the rerouting of the dumptube to allow for ease of install and allow for expansion of the stainless steel through its heat cycles.
All material is stainless steel, and tig welded.

Pricing:
Core Charge of $100 which will be refunded when your uppipe is received.

Modifying Fee of $150 covers material/flanges for dumbtube and extension off of the uppipe, and shipping back to you.

Cost of Wastegates:
Tial 44mm $370
Tial 38mm $240
Tial 38mm V-band $260

Dumptube Reroute: $125+actual cost of shipping downpipe back. While I have the downpipe I can also weld in a o2 bung for wideband use for an additional $20.
It costs roughly $40 to ship a downpipe to the eastcoast to give you an idea of shipping charges.
Here are some pictures of a GTSPEC uppipe that I modified for someone.

V8 GTFO Lesbic WGN · 01-03-2009, 12:47 PM

subscribed. Can you post pics of a rerouted setup?

CovertPerformance · 01-03-2009, 05:33 PM

I was hoping to have pics this week, but with the holidays and shipping my flex bellows havent showed up. But i'll post them when I finish the reroute

mike280 · 01-06-2009, 09:21 PM

Looks like a GREAT deal. In for more pics. Might be interested soon.

V8 GTFO Lesbic WGN · 01-07-2009, 08:22 PM

Covert: What is the leadtime cost to reroute?

CovertPerformance · 01-08-2009, 06:38 PM

I have all the material and tubing here so I can generally get it done in 1-2 day turnaround

V8 GTFO Lesbic WGN · 01-09-2009, 01:20 AM

^need pics! do we have to ship the turbo hotside too? otherwise how do you establish relationship of dumpipe to downpipe?

He probably has his own turbo hotside for mockup given you have a stock mounting turbo... VF39, etc..

EDIT::: In for pics of 38MM V-Band mounted. Seems like the size difference between the "old" and "new" 38mm would allow it to be oriented with a better angle in relation to the uppipe for smoother flow.

GreenLantern · 01-10-2009, 02:03 PM

JUST RECIEVED MY UPPIPE BACK FROM KELLY!!!!!!!

this thing looks great. so excited to put it on today
thanks again kelly

kmurphy · 01-10-2009, 07:02 PM

yep, due to the smaller wastegate i'm putting in roughly a 40* degree notch if im remembering correctly in the tubing that extends off the uppipe. You can see the better angle on the pics I have posted above. The reroute should of been done a week ago, but I'm having a hard time tracking down my flex bellows I ordered

edit: oops.....wrong screenname. kmurphy=covertperformance

CovertPerformance · 01-16-2009, 04:13 AM

GreenLantern · 01-16-2009, 09:14 AM
