sorry i shouldnt have abbreviated what luke said above ^^^
the T peice is simply a bleed valve i have a turbosmart one its fine for you to use i am upgrading to a AEM EBC :)
There are nearly no manifolds for the motors really so a custom made one is your best bet unless you find one on american ebay they have heaps of cast ones... dont get a stainless one they are usually really badly made thin steel and crack very easily i have seen this on more than one occasion and have some pretty nasty photos of failed ones.
throgh a pic up of the turbo your going to use and i'll tell you what flange it is
also luke did you know on your APS turbo you know that the internal wastgate on it has been ported and wastegate flap replaced with a larger one for higher flow yeah?

Dose not matter once you run an EBC anyway
Hey, yeh... sorry bout the little confusion, just busy and didnt check what i was reading...
I will chuck up a photo of what it looks like when i get my camera back.
my setup keeps a/c and p/s....................
I got the manifold(luke's) from the US, they were hard to come by
Ive had a bit of a search for the HKS log manifold... it does seem they are pretty hard to get... The only one i could find was for a d-series, and was second hand...
Yeah i was looking at the pic of it in the build thread and it wont affect the turbo at all they do it to increase the flow through the wastgate so that more gases can get out to help stabalize boost pressure levels.Quote:

after hunting around for one you may as well spend the extra little bit of money get the custom made manifold and know that you wont have to look around for one and know that everything will bolt up straight away keeping your a/c and p/s
lookingforboost.. your right... Im heading to a couple of places to try and find some tuners that will look at the set up im proposing and see how much they are looking for a custom manifold...
Who have the people running boosted dc2's in qld gone to see? Im thinking if i go to a workshop that has had some experience in making the manifold, then it wont be so expenisive as they will already have an idea what is needed...
Just been wondering... Had a look and did some measuring to get the sort of dimensions im looking at...
What has everybody done with the dipstick when turboing up the car??? Does it just sit under the manifold and make it a bi**h to check? has it been moved? etc
Cheers
I had to bend the dip stick tube a tiny bit but now its like checking OEM style...Quote:
