Why did you go from OBX to the TCD log manifold? Did you see something you didn't like? also, why the adapter to raise the turbo?

nice job, what size intercooler is that, and as stated above why the spacer below the turbo?

[Mtechnik2]

Beware of obx, the quality looks good yet the fitment is terrible. At least on the manifold i received, the flanges for the exhaust collectors were weld crooked. I didnt realize this until i was ready to mount the manifold on the cylinder head. I tried to get it fixed, no machine shop or welding shop in the area was willing to touch or let alone fix it. Todd at TCD, was awesome to work with and sold me that fine piece you see there. Definitely worth the extra money, Its good mid-ground opposed to equal length tubular manifolds.

Its a T3 to T4 adapter, i purchased all my parts around the obx manifold. I dont see how a T4 turbo would fit on the TCD manifold, its awfully close the the valve cover and cylinder head. Its a Treadstone T6, superb quality.

Looks great, identical to mine.
Factory 5-speed or swapped?

[randomtask37]

sweet car. I like where this is going too. Have you turboed a car before?

[MR 325]

First time I've seen somebody use the TCD manifold as a top mount.

This car started as an automatic, I purchased this car from Florida. I had the car for about a week and was ready to do a coolant flush and t stat. The weather had other plans, the freeze plugs failed todo their job and cracked my block. While pulling and replacing the engine I did a five speed swap.
This is my first turbo project, but not my first turbo car or rodeo. Although if you do see something I might be doing wrong I'm open to suggestions. I'm running 42# Bosch injectors, hallman HBC, tial bov, tial 44mm wastegate, treadstone tr6 intercooler and have the miller maf and war chip I purchased from Denny on this forum. I wish I went with blueapplesoda's ms unit, as this kit and engine will grow as I have funds.
