Any updates on this kit?

Dino was sourcing intercoolers last I talked to him. I for my part have redesigned the manifold for production and the new design flows amazing and is half the weight! I'm really pleased with it and can guarantee it will out perform anything else out there.

glad to hear the weight got cut down! that was the only thing that bugged me about the original manis you designed...(don't misunderstand me, I <3'd that manifold and noticed gains right away with it, just saying that everything has some kind of flaw and that was the only real thing that bothered me in any kind of form...other than the lack of space to screw to the head, but that was resolved already (thumb))

So the one I'm getting is the "redesigned" one ?

If only you could do a DP for me steed I'd be all set

Hey speed, i think we are in the same boat. After talking to you about the exhaust outlet on my turbo only being 2 1/4", I called MAp and discovered the wrong turbo was sent to me. I am going to get the twin scroll and 3" outlet in exchange. I am going to order (3) 90* mandrel bends, a flex section, an 02 bung and a 4' straight section. If I can put something together for mine, I will duplicate it and let you know. As for right now, I would hate to make any promises until I know for sure.

Mr. Steed: are you in the works for dp's right now?? It would be a kick ass compliment to a kick ass Mani... hint hint...

Any updates on the kit? Very interested in this.
What is the target range for whp? Or will there be various 'stages' and options?
Would love to see a "drop in" or turn key solution that included a forged motor and re-worked heads.

yup, glad you got 3" outlet one and good choice on the twin scroll , something I wish I had too.

I'm still in a need for DP so anything thats possible would be great

Dino is close to you right? He is making down pipes for the kit. He just sent me a drawing to make the downpipe flanges for him.

 

[stdntDrvr]

i want a 'divorced' downpipe...

 

[Speed3.5]

Yeah but his turbo's flange's are diff then mine i believe. I'll get in touch with him then.

BTW - do I have any tracking # yet ?

 

[steedspeed]

Here are some of the latest T3 flanged manifolds ready to ship today!

 

[Signature Sound]

looks sick as hell. cant wait to install it. i will post some photos when its all in. the full wire tuck came out nice and is going to really make this mani stand out even more.

 

[Speed3.5]

Signature, you already got it ? (boom06)

Where is mine

Damn , to me it looks like smaller then the v1 (t2) or is it bc its coated and angle of pic ? (coffee)

any word on the DP or thats not happening at all STEED ?

 

[Speed3.5]

These last pics do look somewhat diff from the original unit that dana got

the flange looks different as you can compare it to this close up view.

So did you refined the shape of the mani , comparing the pics that dana posted with these last one that steed posted looks that the "new" pics show the many to be a bit slimmer width wise and taller neck from the flange ?

So these ones:

are the "re-designed" ones you mentioned before ??

 

[Signature Sound]

I wish mine was here already. Sorry for the confusion, but I have not even got a track number yet. Have you? The mani's look great in the pics.

 

[Speed3.5]

nope, nothing yet as well

I wish he can let us in on whats going on and what else rather then guessing as he's going along.

"Are we there yet......... " lol

 

[HKPRO5]

I emailed him....

Yessir, we are currently waiting on intercoolers.

Thanks,

Yes, these are the ones I sent out on Thursday. They are same turbo location with thinner section in middle. This new design flows like crazy and is much lighter. The one I sent to Dino was a prototype and as always there were a lot of things I wanted to change for production. I don't think it could possibly perform better based on the results of testing in my shop you guys are going to be very impressed with how your boost builds.

Hey Great, they went out Thursday. Only 6 weeks later than expected, but better late than never. Do we have any tracking info so we know when to expect the package? I have to arrange for the neighbor to sign for it because i'm never home for deliveries.
