is that a 9 bolt turbo manifold? i've been looking everywhere for a 7 bolt one. did you just cut off the end on the manifold?

yes it is a 9 bolt. and yes i did just cut the corner off where the alternator base mount is.

not yet, but i have only been for test runs thus far. Dyno tuner still not ready.

After I made the cut, I had the manifold ceramic coated to try and keep a bit of extra heat out.

But, yeh man, seams to be 100% fine at this stage.

Alrighty then. Finally got the car back from the dyno after a 2 month wait.

Currently set up running 5psi boost. The 370cc injectors look like they will carry me all the way to 12psi. My ECU will only allow -25% correction on the injector pulse, so it is running a little rich at idle and cruise. Not to the point of any black smoke. Last dyno run, 116.5kw (156HP) at the front wheels. Will gradually start to wind it up further over the next few months. Waiting for run files to be emailed through. Will post in more detail and more pics in a few days.
