Why not an adapter

 

Height

 

Just flip the mani over brah

 

Also... hoods are for pu$$!e$

 

Maybe I need a hood scoop

 

Body lift???

 

This one looks nice, low profile

 

It's probably easy as hey guys could you weld on a t3 flange instead for me. They are pretty close in size.

 

True, unless they make a bunch and won't do until they sell their initial stock

 

OK, I just shot them an email saying I'm anxiously awaiting their 2TR-FE turbo manifold and would like one with a T3 flange.

 

Well, I texted the manager about it, but you can do your own footwork then

 

Yeah again..idk why the hell they would go through all that work..and make it a t2. Seems silly.

 

There will be other variants, but the first one is entry level. There have been many discussions, about plenty of options.

 

I appreciate your time in this, for sure, but you're keeping everything close to chest (I understand your arrangement). You didn't communicate that text before I sent the email; don't be offended, I'm not stepping on your toes. Please understand that I'm not going to just buy anything, so I was doing my part in expressing demand from a potential customer- if you can't tell, I'm not the type that sits around and waits. I'll continue collecting my parts and if they release it in time and it's what I want then I'll buy, otherwise there will be an equal length T3 manifold at a price point they can't compete with.

 

I've spent ten years getting in good with them, just to get where I am at now. That shows you their pace at new items. This is why I am here, a year later, with no manifold yet. There was the Gato thing too, but all my stuff has been there since last year in February, so you can formulate your own conclusion on that..

I appreciate the message showing market demand, and am not offended at all, believe me. I have had all these conversations with them already, and came to their point, of offering a stock, bolt on kit while they use my block to get all the R&D for head/block work. Then, we are cooking with fire, and the engine will actually be receptive to the CFMs of a T3 turbo and up(I am thinking of not selling my EFR at this point. Nobody wants it )

If you want to do your own footwork, and create a manifold, I support you 100%

If you make something before they do, you can bet your ass ill take one

 

I think we've all got boost blue balls lol

 

well I watched a video of a tear down of an ebay wg that looked just like mine and it leaked at the base and was letting what would be boost pressure by between the plate and the bottom of the housing he took a dremel and just sanded down the high points so everythin was flush and it fixed the issue, and I was like "yes! (well I was like "crap this is junk) I have finally found where my vacuum leak is most likely coming from." so I took my line off at where the pcv used to go from where I have everything boost referenced, and took a big hit from my vape and then tried to blow until I almost passed out and couldn't get 1 cm^3 of air out... so the search continues. I guess on a good note, my WG and BOV are air tight...

 

Hopefully be finished with this today, just channel for gasket left

 

I'm not even sure why you think you have a vacuum leak at this point. It takes a BIG vacuum leak to make much of a difference, and your fuel trims are going to be whack anyway. I think you need to stop chasing this vacuum leak man I think you're fine. We saw your vacuum in a picture in another thread and it looked fine. (-10psig, so about 20 in hg, as i recall)

 

Terrible idle until its warmed up and then my afrs are 17+ at idle and im only able to build ~4psi in a 7.5 spring so its gotta be goin somewhere right
