had some time to tweak the manifold a lil bit today...
priority wastegate placement off the collector elbow is starting to take shape. the pic shows placement. we will use a tear drop style port for the final design...boost control will be no problemo
here's a possible option for the thermostat housing hardline. this will clear the manifold, wastegate/dumptube, turbo intake, and charge pipes for this setup. it can be modded to clear other setups as well if that's what you guys need.
this mani also allows you run an up-pipe through the hood...i might do this in the b13
