Thumbs down Where to mount my KingTech 210 in a Skymaster Hawk

What is the distance from the K210 to the pipe when I mount it in my Hawk? There are no guidelines in the KingTech manual. Are there some basic guidelines or formulas to calculate where the turbine should sit relative to the pipe?

A good rule of thumb is not to have any part of the tailpipe closer than 20mm (3/4") from the exhaust of your turbine, but also not futher than 30mm (1 and 1/4") apart. So depending on the diameter of both, this will vary the distance of the pipe behind the turbine.

No need for the thumbs down & you may want to read the manual again. The K210 distance of 20-30mm has been in the manual for years now. I have been using 1"/25mm on a few K210's with no issues. See Kingtech info below along with JetCat's detailed pipe size and distance guidelines.

I must be blind! I looked right at the page and did not see the dimension. Thanks for pointing it out.
