I'm looking for some information and wanted to share a couple of ideas. It is possible that I'm missing something simple which makes this impossible but:
One of the big issues that we have had with wanting to run a twin scroll evo turbo has been that the turbo is reversed compared to ours which leads to issues with exhaust, intake, and IC pipe routing issues. Now someone was actually (planning) on using an evo style turbo anyway in a RWD conversion and I'm not sure how this project ended but it means at least someone has some experience with an evo manifold on a DSM head.
The evoX has a nice twin scroll turbo with great spool and lots of boost and someone on this forum has modified the evoX manifold to fit a DSM head so that the turbo could be used on our cars so the evoX turbo can be fit in the car well enough to get the job done with a little bit of work.
Finally I've just read that the evoX turbo uses the same manifold to turbo flange as the evo 8/9.
So why can't we use an 8/9 manifold with an X turbo and have a correctly facing twin scroll turbo with OEM (throwaway) parts? It seems to me like this might take some pipe wrangling but should work.
Lets have some comments to tell me what I'm missing.
