Uppipe Opinions

[ja_cain]

Thanks to another thread I have determined that I have uppipe leaks on both the driver and passenger side. I am eventully going to go to a T4 mount with a Bell BASB turbo but it may be a while before I can get around to fabbing my own mount. I would like to address the leaky uppipes before then but don't want to spend 400 bucks on something I am just going to eventually take off. Thinking about just spending the money on a deleted pedastal as my EBPV is leaking and doing the Dorman pipes until I get the T4 mount fabbed up. I would like to get some opinions from you guys on this. Thanks in advance.

If you're just going to pull them for a T4 I'd just replace the gaskets and nurse it through...no sense in spending the money twice.

Chances are the pipes are toast. So you may end up spending alot more than its worth. Oh and the collector, don't try to back the bolts out completely, you usually get 3-5 good turns on all 4 bolts. Any more and you break them off. Cut cut the driver side up pipe to manifold bolts off and then wiggle the Collector off. Toss it in the vice and use the heat torch to remove the bolts the rest of the way
