Any updates on the production?

Last I heard all was rolling along smoothly down at the shop.

My birthday is January 11th. If you're feeling froggy Rich, you can toss some extra goodies in the box with my manifold.

Last I heard all was rolling along smoothly down at the shop.

So does the shop have a timeframe on when they will be done, besides sometime in January.

They are planning a ton of work on them this weekend and next. I'll have a better idea on the ETA at that point.

Sorry if this is a repeat question, and I'm sure it was addressed somewhere in the original GB thread, but why is it that we can't use the regular EGR pipe with your manifold? The corrugated EGR piping looks hideous in my opinion. I know it's just EGR and most people end up removing it, but still.. I'm just curious why the EGR valve couldn't be positioned in such a way to allow the use of the factory pipe.

Or maybe I have just misunderstood and you can use the stock pipe?? It's just that every install I've seen has the Home Depot fix hose for EGR.

The EGR port/flange had to be moved because the plenum shape is changed so much between mine and stock. There simply just isn't a spot on mine to put it where the stock hose could hook up to it.

 

[Ricktalife]

My spot is for sale. If anybody wants one of these rare mods, now is your chance to get in the first group.

 

[spicyprotevo]

Bump!

Paid in full! Cannot wait to start my build, this will be the cherry on top!

 

[T3/T4_Protege]

Pm'ed with my situation

 

[2.0t03speed]

These manifolds are the s***. I should have my car back to operational status soon with a different turbo (gt28r this time) i can't wait to see how this mani affects this turbo.

Got a progress report today and it sounds like we are getting real close to being ready for coating on G1. It is almost time for G1 remaining balances and G2 deposits to be due.

[Spiced MSP]

Yesss!!!

 

[Protegebuddy]

Question, I was under the assumtion that we would be able to continually pay off the manifold when we were able to and then, when the final payment was complete the manifold itself would ship out to us..... So, now is there a due date when we need to have the final payment??? Or, did I misunderstand?
