are you seriously paying 800-1000bux for a adapter your getting shafted you could get a proper custom manfiold built for 1200ish plus your adding 2 extra joins in the manifold that will leak

my own manifold owes me under 200 in parts plus around 4-6 hour labour
12mm laser cut head flange $30, 10mm t3 flange $20, 10x 90deg 1.25" buttweld bends $4each 4x 45deg 1.25" buttweld bends $6each

May have to cut the bonnet and put a bubble down the one side :cool: As the intercooler is going to sit a little higher than expected plus a rear mounting scoop to let the heat out on the turbo side.
Will know for sure once it's all in :D

I have had this hole from the PO, in which resided a vacuum gauge to show how economically you are driving. Now come on we all know this is a total waste of time, it's a 40 and the only way it's going to be anymore economical it to make it lighter. So I did and through the gauge out:grinpimp:
The old air filter and snorkel left a hole which lent it's self perfectly to the twin battery isolator switch in red. (comp requirement)

1 Turbo
1 Blow off valve
1 External wastegate
1 Home brew intercooler
1 Boost gauge
1 Wide band oxy sensor
1 washable/sealed cone air filter
1 Solenoid valve

Wooooohooooooo getting excited :steer:

I think I can finally see the light and the end of this epic thread about the :shotts:
 
So should I start planning for ACT 2010 so I can see a turbo injected turd blow away all the normal and mildly polished turds?
