MS3 turbo manifold from PG

[tru-boost]

hey guys got this installed this week and it is geat, check it out.

installed pic with the IC off for easier viewing ....

i have to admit i didnt believe the gains when i saw the dyno sheet......
but the i drove it !! WOW....just WOW ! the car pulls like crazy ! the spoo-up time is insanely fast. i catch myself building boost when i dont even want to. it just rushes in sooooo fast ! i had the test pipe added also. the combo of those two parts is amazing. traction in 1st and 2nd is non existant. it will end up hooking up towards the middle of third ! this was my best mod yet !

PG is doing a group buy on these, check out their thread ....

Does this make it louder inside the car?

 

[tru-boost]

no not at all. i got zero extra sound from the manifold. the racepipe did add a little bit of a deeper sound, and did add some resonance

So how much of a pain was the install?

 

[Falconx84]

have the dyno sheet, before/after?

edit: nevermind.... just saw it on the GB thread

those are some nice gains. i have a crazy idea of that manifold with a gt28 or gt30 turbo. that could be fun.

how much closer to the TMIC does that thing sit? Looks like a nice piece and good gains throughout on it. Probably wouldn't make too much heat difference at speed, but not sure how much it would change things in low speed conditions like autocrossing.

I'd love to see an MS3 with some dynos of the complete bolt ons that you can basically do (CAI, exhaust manifold, downpipe, testpipe, exhaust) at stock boost. Then maybe one with BOV, TMIC, and upped boost [MBC/BCD].

That so far, seems to be my plans eventually.

cool, did they install it for you? how much etc..

 

[tru-boost]

yes mine was installed, but only because it was the prototype piece.
it does sit a tad closer to the bottom of the TMIC, but i dont think it will make any difference. i do plan on adding some heat reflective tape to the bottom of the intercooler end tanks. i dont think it NEEDS it but i'm sure it wont hurt either.

 

[Powerslave]

lucky!!! hey what about the dyno sheets, how much of a gain directly resulted

 

[tru-boost]

the dyno showed gains of 28HP and 35TQ !!

 

[Powerslave]

man thats AWSOME!!!!!!! ok i need to start making some money to get the manifold...lol

I installed this on a speed6 about two months ago along with the catless downpipe in about 6 hours. For the adverage mechanic it might be a little difficult though. The gains are very noticeable and the spool up time is insane. This is must have. I am going to be putting a dual cpe exhaust on his car this weekend and he is going to get dynoed at turboxs next week. The guy that i speed of is cherryspeed over at ***************. If anyone needs this installed let me know!!

6 hours? It took 3 for the manifold if it wasn't for the broken stud then the DP is easily accessed from the top and unbolted in a matter of 5 minutes tops.

hmm talk about o warranty voider...but i want one

Dude, that's a freakin' record. The speed6 DP is a b**** to do b/c of the AWD. That and the manifold in 6 hours is quality.

 

[Haltech]

Yea the speed6 DP install is nothing nice, but i also know, you will munch at least once stud doing the same install on the Speed3. Ive had a DP sitting in my closet now for like, 4 months because ill do everything at once. Bigger Turbo, DP, and manifold when the tuning solutions become PnP. I want to do this all at once time.
