That manifold may look like the ERL, but the real deal is cast steel. I dont see the advantages of one Chines welded manifold over another.... They all seem to crack eventually

Is that also the obx o2 housing you have their? Did it bolt right up to your stock location downpipe? If so it looks like a good alternative for people who don't want to custom fab a o2 housing/downpipe.

Looking good bud! Is this t3 specifically made for hx turbo's? Or bored out to fit?
I was wondering if it is bored out to fit it might not flow well as what the original design intended. I am talking about the openings around the interior of the turbine housing where the gas would come out to spin the wheel. I am not really sure how the exhaust turbine housing are designed.
Well as far as the turbo setup goes its kind of pointless.. You're better off going with the BEP .70 It'll spool the same and make more power for the same price.
As for the manifold, at $170 shipped its a nice piece.
but what if you already have a 2.5" 4 bolt O2 housing, then its not so pointless
I wonder why it's spooling so slow?
From what I've read, most guys are seeing those spool times on HX52's with 16cm turbine housings.
If you have no bleeder hole, the MBC needs to be hooked to the intake manifold so it has some sort of vacuum source. Otherwise, the gate can be left open slightly from the residual pressure trapped in the line when you let off and the ball drops down and prevents the pressurized air from exiting the wastegate chamber and line.I suppose the gate could be leaking slightly. It is vented and very easy to hear when it opens fully. Using a grainger spring loaded ball/seat MBC not a bleeder. Gate literally pops open right around 25psi and is very noticable.
