Great, any vibrations? specifically around 3-4k rpms?

 

No, feels good.
Why would it vibrate?

 

No Im just asking because I have the same kit and having terrible vibration.

 

Whats up Jaspah? Any way you can send me a pic of how you installed your wastegate and where the dump tube gets routed, I just want to compare to how mine is setup.

 

Any one else running this Pfab kit?

 

Hi, sorry for the (very) late reply. I was on deployment for a few months.

My wastegate is facing down and so is the dump tube. It's just a straight pipe with a light bend welded to the flange that came with the wastegate.

 

Hey hows it going Jaspah, Have you got the car running yet with this setup?

 

Almost done!
I'll post some pictures when it's out of the garage for the first time in two years or so

 

I'm about to buy the pfab mani and I'll let you guys know what I think about it. Car should be full turbo and tune by Friday!

 

So I've made a few runs for the first time.

Updates on what I think of the manifold:

+ No oil filter relocation kit is needed
+ Looks great & strong, fits perfect
+ Wastegate is as close to the turbo as it gets


- The turbo is mounted, facing in a not very handy direction. It's very close to the valve cover and bonnet. This was not necessary at all. It could have just been given a little bit of a different angle. Just my 2 cents...
Fitting an air filter is kind of a b*tch. Because of the angle of the turbo, the air filter is bound to hit the bonnet. I'm still looking for something that's going to fit. It'll probably just be a turbo guard or something.
(any ideas?)


Hope this helps
