I have this Manifold and Downpipe. I had to have the wastegate recirculation tube cut and extended and re TIG'd to mateup with my wastegate ( Tial 38mm) I have had no problem with the Manifold and spool up on a Garret 57trim .63 A/R with non ball bearing is around 3300-3400...... I will be posting pic as soon as I learn How....LOL how do you put up pics in a thread??

To post pics put [img]pic url[/img] around the image url. Oh and you need an online storage site like photobucket or something to store the photos.

Bryan06tC

Wow that is a bit off, I wonder what Megan racing is going to do about this maybe they could make a flange to fill that gap for the people who can't get it welded.

Hey Bryan what did you do for fmic pipes ? is it a universial kit ?

Bryan06tC

yeah it is but I must confess I'm doing some creative stuff with foot long flexible silicone hoses in the mix..... If your turbo is big like mine the compressor housing may touch the radiator hose

Yeah that was what else I was gonna ask you I'm getting a t3 t4oe (50 trim) did you have the move the fans ?

Bryan06tC

My fans haven't moved and it still fits, but I am probably going to move them and go with slimline fans in the front, cause it would free up some space and give a less crowded look to the engine bay...... know where to get those?

Bryan06tC

Megan put like the newest designer they had on this or something because it can be made to work but it wasnt thought out or tested thoroughly I dont know if they have pulled the item or not...... I like what i have but it is a very custom set up and I have done every bit of it on my own......

I dont know where to get them I remeber ny friend pulled his radiator foward a bit to clear his treadstone kit's turbo.

boosthappy

so by wat were tellin me the maniflod holds up good

Bryan06tC

manifold holds up just fine and does a good job..... however the fitting issues that come about with the current design are a hassle! ( being nice) ....... I had to re TIG ( had some do it) the wastegate recirc to make it fit intercooler piping route can be a PITA and thats bout it.... it can just be frustrating thats all... but any build can be
