tha dirty souf,
Texas
Well, I finally got a chance to sit down and upload the pics to my computer. I recently installed a cast t4 mani form Rev hard and a little turbo I bought from Ecoli. I am sure most have read the horror stories saying you will never get a decent down pipe to fit so I decided to post the pics of the one I had made.
Here is a close up of the difficult first bend
The completed downpipe with the little turbo in the back ground
THe manifold came with a dump tube to remote mount the wastegate, but the way we tried to install it, it placed the wastegate directly where my 3.5" dejon intake is. So we made a new one that placed it over by the power steering pump
Here is the finished installed product from the typical view.
The limited time I got to drive the car it was defiantely loud and laggy. My exhaust now terminates at the end of the down pipe so there is nothing there to quiet it down. The car sounded like a big dump truck just cruising through a parking lot or away from a light. I was seeing WG pressure by ~5700 rpm which is 21 psi. Why was the driving time limited? The turbo locked up after the first 30-40 miles. Yes new lines were used and yes they were from the correct port on the filter housing. This is my third precision turbo (scm50, scm61 and now PT67) and all have been run from this port and all still run fine, except for this one. The turbo is under warranty so it is in a box ready to be shipped back to precision. Hopefully I won't have any issues getting it covered. Shane (Ecoli) was nice enough to talk to precision for me and get everything set up for me to ship it to them. Thanks again Shane.
Hopefully precision will be able to get it back to me soon so I can hit the dyno and see if I picked up any power fro all this hoopla. Don't worry about the lag either. My 2.4 will be done here shortly yo help fix some of that.

how is the placement of the turbo with the new manifold? does it take up abolut the same amount of room as the stock style setup? i ask because ive thought about this but i have limited room on my rwd project.
i guess that wouldnt make that big a difference. if you could measure it that would be great. thanks in advance.
