Are these still being made?

Is it fine with RHD (wastegate position with steering linkage)? Anyone tried?

Ship internationally?

Number 1 and 2 are sort of tight but I think you can access with a swivel joint.

Here are some pictures from KAMotors car. It depends how big your compressor housing is I guess.

Thanks for the update, I plan to install mine this winter and get a fab'd up downpipe as my major christmas present to myself! Also, how about accessing the spark plugs? I always have issues with #2 while running my current adapter

To follow up on this.

I installed and bolted the manifold and turbo on my 325iX last night!

Fitment is great and it does fit the iX with plenty of clearance. The manifold spaces the turbo further away from the head and higher than the cx racing manifold which is something to note when switching between the two. I have to modify my downpipe now. The turbo sits higher and a bit more level. so I also had to rotate my turbo outlet to allow my hood to close. No big deal though. This manifold leaves lots of space to access oil drain from the turbo and a good amount of space with the factory heat shields/gaskets.

I was able to tighten all bolts fairly easily and the manifold fits great on the head. With the 44mm wastegate flange I had to upgrade to a tial MVR wastegate but with its slim size it should have no problem clearing my oil drain line at the rear of the block on the iX. I will try to get some pictures up soon.

For anyone who's curious about the EFR turbos, we'll eventually be installing a Borg Warner EFR7163 on our E30 M20 build. Main build thread is over on the "other" forum. Since we've decided to go EFR, we won't need a separate BOV or wastegate. But hope you guys can get together a good group buy anyway!

I emailed Otis myself to ask about a possible wastegate/blow-off valve group buy. He said that's the best he can do on the Tials. Are there any other brands that would be comparable for a little less?

They make the 50mm in a recirc one, it is the QR

[Cayoncrusier93]

Thanks, they came out real nice.

How about a group buy for Tial Wastegates and BOV..???? Anyone interested...??

I have a Tial 38mm waste gate but i'd be in for the BOV. But i'd prefer a recirculating BOV as to not attract too much attention with the woosh from a externally vented bov.

I am ABSOLUTELY interested in a Tial wastegate and bov group buy as long as there is enough price savings to motivate me

[E34DIYer]

Obviously price/savings would be a big motivator as well...

[E34DIYer]

I'd definitely be interested in the wastegate. Not sure on BOV, as I want to do a recirculating setup instead of dumping to atmosphere.

Got my manifold today Otis. It looks great!

I'm also looking at a GT3076R but with a .64 A/R housing, as I have relatively modest power goals and I'm looking for quick spool-up. Got the manifold, looks really solid with undamaged gaskets.

We may need to hook up soon if you are installing it on another iX!
