[h17och]

[h17och]

i ment bulkhead clearance when i said is that gonna fit

 

[caveo]

Probably either wont fit or be a ******* TO fit me thinks

 

[h17och]

dont look too bad if its got bulkhead clearance.


how many turbos you fitted then caveo?

 

[caveo]

A total of zero but having read dpj's eliminator thread ( which is supposed to sit in "stock" position ) even the "easier" kits are far from that , but as you know mate NOTHING is.

 

[marky t]

that gonna fit?

Noise surely, your going for it aswell are you not??

Good question.............

I've seen a few people over the pond fitting internally gated disco potatoes and blocking off the wastegate outlet on the manifold.
Seems to be down to wanting a simpler setup or "they bought the turbo cheap off a mate".

Manifold looks okay if it clears everything. I'd prefer some relief cuts maybe between the cylinders? Deffo not PAG parts or kinetic. ATP?? but it would have that written on it.

Anyways, good luck with the project, post more pics as and when you have them.

Woops...

I was just wondering the same. I think they do a blanking plate for the wastegate take-off, don't they?
