I am stuck on what to cut off and what to keep in the turbo intake manifold. I know I might need to keep some of the holes but which ones and where do the lines go? If you have pictures of your install, I would greatly apreceate it.

I don't want to get all crazy with cutting things off I might need.

Thanks

Brian,

Depends what you want to do I suppose. I used a non-turbo intake manifold as I couldn't find one and plan on making a custom one anyway.

I cut off the valve on the very end, then cleaned out the copious amounts of crap in the gallery that runs next to the plenum on the underside. I also discovered holes that go through this and into the runners! I tapped these and plugged them. I also converted to cable throttle and cut off the ugly towers.

Hope this helps,

Dave

I was wondering where or who did you get your header for your turbo made or done at, I like how you worked that and what type of stand alone set up are you using becuase obviously your a bit far from stock.

Good looking turbo set up you have there.

Thanks boostedz,

The exhaust manifold was fabricated by Ian Rowlerson who used to run a TIG welding business in Warburton, Victoria, Australia.

I'm running a base-level Autronic SMC. Wouldn't do that again. Its a good enough computer for a basic engine, but there are things I want to do that I can't, great for the price though.
