smoothing y-pipe...
I want to know if anyone has ever smoothed out the y-pipe for the turbos? I want to do this to clean out unused fittings/nipples as I知 running full non-seq. I知 going to move my BOV to the intercooler piping. So that leaves me with only 2 nipples that I need. The reason I want to do this is so I don't have to worry about the plugs I got installed popping when I'm running 13psi and to clean up a bit.

Don't see any reason you couldn't - you could cut all the extra stuff off and weld the holes shut. Actually, on my old TurboII, there were a number of intake manifold nipples I didn't need any more (emissions related) that I cut off and had welded shut. Beats the heck out of a cheap rubber vacuum cap

I have done several with and with out new bov flanges,removing the small nipples or moving them .Putting flanges on top with 5 bolts that replace the rubber connection .All can be done ,there are pictures on the forum .If you do not weld find a good welder and do the hand work the way you want it then let the welder do his thing ,then you smooth the welds and polish it out .

now my question is, should I get it polished or powder coated chrome? I already got the UIM smooth out but not polished. I got tired of working on it and I needed the car finish so I could move it from the grage so it just got painted.
