Thread: New setup and build....Updated 5/25/12...723whp!!!!!!

You should compound turbo!

This is what I had planned for my turbo build.

Is that a rwd manifold?

yes it is goes for $949 on the webpage.

that's all Asthon will every run, even from day one with with T25 set up.

chunky..

That is one hell of a manifold.

Very nice manifold but, why not get a FWD manifold?

Just curious.

Because with that big of a turbo, it would be very very very hard to fit it in a proper place anyways, this manifold will put the placement of the turbo where Ive always had it. I already have my radiator setup and mounted. Switching the upper radiator hose to a -16AN braided line to keep it clean. The front edge of the compressore will be right where my radiator support is and just behind the headlight. Again not much else I can do. I already have a cooling plate made but Im going to get another one made that is specificly for this setup. It will look very normal other than the compressor being on the front of the motor and except for the 5" exhaust exiting the hood along with the dump 50mm dump tube. lol.

Again it would have cost me the same amount reguardless if i had one made to put it in a fwd configuration. Either way, im running a half width radiator, Braided upper hose so you really will never know, cooling plat to connect the supports, secure the top of the radiator and cover the top portion including the tops of the headlights. It will still look very clean. Just give me a chance to finish it all up and youll understand more.

Right now there is no FWD manifold on the market that would have fit this turbo in the bay correctly without hitting anything. I didnt want to have to modify it.

Not too sure about that since it would have to be a custom manifold and that really would have cost more than you paid for the one you have right now.
