Garett 103 Report post Posted September 1, 2012 I think as the downpipe is so close to the coils it may be a good idea to run leads, a pic below of what i have got should be good with a custom bracket Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sent them the link to Facebook page they told me 300+gst which I thought was not to bad. That's manifold waste runners and down pipe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Yeah that's cheap. I'm not sure if hpc`s prices on their website is outdated but I think they wanted 1100~ for manifold down pipe and turbine housing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SRBMW 6 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Anyone got any recommendations on clutch set ups? Sorry I don't have the time to go back through all the pages but what sort of power are you hoping for? Can either do a good single or a twin plate setup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
