I'm thinking I should start a build thread. Guess this is it.

I'll have my 4.45 up for sale soon if your interested. The 445 will compliment your setup quite well in terms of power delivery. Regardless, i would like to see how well the 4.05 works for you with that setup before changing anything.

Finished making my oil drain, if anyone is running a a big turbo and wanting a an10 braided. Stainless line with an ends, on the s257 and probably 256 and 259 the line needs 1 45 degree end one straight and has to be exactly 10.5 inch from end to end. Can get the an10 drain fitting from treadstone

I did originally have a braided nylon line but it didnt work out, i used the reusable end from that line to make myself a custom braided stainless line which worked well once i clocked the center section so it was pointed straight down, i had it angled back a bit before which made it impossible to use stainless, but all fixed now

I have used a multitude of different lines. Even cheaper russell pushlock hose with thermal wrap. -10 is the way to go for sure for turbos of this size.

they would have to run your setup exactly. The reality of it is that different exhaust housings can vary and place the center cartridge in different spots. The fittings are one thing but the length should be determined by the person in the car unless they run the same setup.

cause I don't like cranking up my radio to drown out certain noises I don't want to hear, like gas tank sloshing, rocks hitting under the car cause I drive a lot of gravel roads. and yes, the exhaust can get annoying on long trips, I love it with the windows down and all, but sometimes, I just want it quieter on a longer trip. my reasons, don't have to like em, but that's what they are

amazon.ca had it for 266 for enough for entire car, and now its down to 212. some people may think its dumb, but lets face it, especially if u have to drive gravel, there are some noises u just get tired of hearing. even the exhaust hum can get annoying on long drives. so no I got the option, open the window and hear what I like, or close it and have it quieter if I want.
