    How much would you charge for a manifold like yours? I have been looking for a nice one and I am not sure the spa one will fit.

      I'm not sure. But I won't be willing to make one until I learn how to TIG weld well. So get back to me after Christmas. :)

        I can do the welding. I just need the pieces.

            1. I have boost cut

            3. If I really want to see what my boost threshold looks like I can just datalog it.

            I just don't see the need for it. I rather pay more attention to my wideband.;)
            If you think it makes sense, I'm glad. ;)

            Seems a boost gauge would be more important than a second coolant temp gauge.

                So...I know we just finished my M50 swap....but you think you're ready to tackle on a turbo project for me too? Haha

                Looks great Richard, I get to drive it when it's done! I also expect a ride-along at PIR!

                            did you cut and splice the stock wiring harness for the 24" universal wiring harness. or did you run a fresh one with the 72" inch harness?

                              I got the material at Verocious. I'll have to get back to you on the amount of material I used.

                              I did not use a universal EMS.

                              I used a box made to plug and play into a Honda (30-1050). So all I did was go to the junk yard and cut out the ECU connectors from a Honda Civic then wired the correct pins from the Honda connectors to the back of a DME male connector.

                              Therefore, my OEM harness is untouched.

                                This goes out to the peeps who do not like my drain setup.


                                This pic shows how the turbo kits out there have it set up. If this is good enough to work, I doubt I will have any trouble. FYI oil level when engine is running is above the oil pan gasket.
