No and yes. RHD is a dealbreaker for almost any turbo kit, sadly. -
I hate using AC but there are days when you plain have to down here.
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.Comment

Any issues related to the distance between the w/g and the manifold?
How's the clearance with fatter sway bars?
How big is that "huge" turbo-ChrisComment

That's not the same wastegate pipe we generally send with the manifolds, but most people end up customizing that anyway, even on an e36. The standard one will probably fit, as it's designed to basically take up the same space as the e36 secondaries. We'll have a proper one when the kits are released. It may end up being an option on the manifold. There will be many more/better pics taken when we do my car.
Sway bar clearance is not an issue, remember the bar moves up when the car is unloaded.
That customer brought his own turbo, it was big enough that it required a ton of custom work*. I don't remember what size it was, other than it was physically larger than the TRM stage 2. Big enough for 600hp.
* Custom work like a special wrench welded up specifically to tighten the oil feed because it was impossible to get a regular wrench on it between the turbo and the manifold.Last edited by matt; 09-04-2007, 06:39 PM.Comment

Cool, thanks for the info. Worse comes to worse ($ wise) ill probably pick up the manifold from trm, possibly tuning too. Its the same one you guys use on e36's correct?
Why do most people customize the WG pipe? Im looking forward to pics on your car.-ChrisComment

The wastegate pipe is designed to be used with the TRM stage 1 and 2 turbos, so when people try to stuff a huge GT35R on there, the WG pipe hits the exhaust housing.
It is the same manifold as the e36, yes.Comment
