Does any one know the part numbers for the exhaust parts that connect the up pipe to the turbo or where to get them new
I never had any those parts I 'm not sure whats all needed to hook the up pipe to the turbo the right way
 
All you need to connect the up pipe to the turbo is a gasket that you can get from Poston's on copper form, and the three studs along with the nuts to tighten the up pipe to the turbo on the studs.

I have that copper gasket and I bolted it up that way and the up pipe never lines up with the header outlet, and then the turbo sits on a angle, that little joint is what I need to fix this problem.
I'm not sure where to get one I dont have a GM part #
if they can get it yet
 
Check to make sure your turbo adapter on the back of the manifold is installed right. It should aim the turbo straight into the intake, and not lop-sided. This is the only reason I could see why the turbo, up pipe, and header don't mate. There is nothing between the turbo and up ipe. I have pics if you need them.

uppipe

Do you have a stock uppipe? If so, you are refering to the triangle shaped cast adapter. Sorry no longer available from dealer. Post in the parts wanted section. Be sure to ask for one that is not cracked.
 
I bought a new solid uppipe from Poston last year for my 85 GN. It did not fit my stock turbo because I had a Poston aftermarket passenger side exhaust manifold. The replacemant uppipe caused the turbo to rock upwards towards the firewall. My solution- Bought two ( one spare) stock braided uppipes in the parts wanted section. This solved my problem because the stock design is flexible. Brad
 
stock or aftermarket up pipes all fit a little differnt on each car
and the stock one had that spacer in there to fix that...
just have to make my own spacer
 
Copper gasket won't work with the stocker. Buy an ATR pipe and you can use the supplied copper gasket. I have two of the stock gaskets/adaptors but one is cracked and I'm saving the good one in case I ever want to go back to stock.
 
I have the atr pipes and headers and I also have a postons uppipe still dont fit correct. I have a front mount intercooler with a 87 intake, and it still never fit correct with the stock intake.
throttle body moved to front

The bracket that holds the turbo to the intake does any one know
if thats bolts flush to the intake or it sits on those bolts/studs
I have it bolted on those studs
