Got my new steedspeed manifold today. It looks beautiful and I am so ready to get all my new parts on.
well said brother. I understand where you're coming from. Literally. I lived in Reading PA for 6 months and the roads there are crap. Michigan is much worse and thats why I ended up doing the air ride instead of coil overs. But yea I get it.
The Steed is guranteed for life. Mine was a first gen and leaked too. I sent it back to Leen and he Tig welded all the runners, deleted the EGR bung for me and recoated it in black. ALL for FREE! Then I made a support bracket out of an exhaust hanger just to take some of the weight off the flange. Came out sweet. Plus I had a little time to port the s*** out of it and knife edged the T3 flange divider. I also gasket matched the ports as I said earlier and I was ecstatic the difference it made.
The FPR thing I forgot about the issue on that. I hope that works for you.
For a turbo upgrade, I meant a T28 with liquid cooled and ball bearing. I had an IHI-VF22 that was bushing and it didnt last long. I replaced it and went bad rel quick again and it cost me $1100. That sucked bad.TBK didnt stand behind anything, but I didnt have Miguel to learn from at that time lol.
And you are correct about the IM. I guess anything that gets changed that much is going to cause some kind of need for tuning.
Thanks for being open to my thoughts. I just want to help in some way.
hey man, about steedspeed 1gen on T3 , you think I should send it to Leen too ? Was that just partivular flaw or ....
The problem was with very few manifolds where I tried a different way to attach the head flanges. I quickly gave up on that method lol! you live and learn. If you ever have any problems then I will always see you are well taken care of.
