REFLECTOR: Anybody know who's TSIO550 this is?

[Bob Jackson]

Scott,

Actually our exhaust was welded by John Herring who owns Aero Welding &
Machining in Opa Locka, FL (near Miami).  They did a great job working from
our patterns.  With the help of the slip joints, everything fit without mod
the first time.  The exhaust is a mix of 321 stainless with Inconel in the
hottest sections.

We haven't had a chance to detach and weigh the engine as a whole, but have
a lot of the individual numbers somewhere.  It's heavy.  I think the turbo
components add about 100 pounds.  It's a manual wastegate, which we may
automate someday.

Bob

Wow, nice work Bob! What a hot rod!

Clinton does great exhaust work doesn't he?

Got any idea of the final weight of the engine installation?
