ok well finally got a manifold, (This one) and dont know what the wg flange is for. it looks like hks standard, but when i looked @ the racing it looked the same in pictures.....

so anyone got a clue b/c i dont,

or should i say the hell with it and cut their flange off and weld on one for a tial (my first choice was a tial wg)

but if its easier and hks wg's should be fine for my expectations of the car should i go with the hks?



thanks guys

look here



mike

well um since theres no pictures of the flanges............



thanks any way https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

nice manifold. make sure you put OBX racing manifold and your mod list https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

they all have different part numbers for the gaskets, so i'm going to say its different



mike

bacon you know your gonna get whatever is cheapest LOL

Hows the quality of that manifold? Did you test fit it yet?



Everything good with the turbo?



Justin

quality is ******* incredible...beautiful welds (im a welder and my pops has been a union welder for 28 years)

few small mistakes but construction is sound...im gonna smooth out the insides a bit more, but im ****-retentive and need somethig to do...i didnt test fit it b/c i just had enough time to look at it good then run out the door...

ill do that on sunday at the latest ( i live @ school and home where the fd is is 1.5hrs away)



ohh vosko i was gonna go tial, but i figure hks racing is just as good for what im gonna need, im asking b/c if its the standard im cutin it off and puttin a tial 46mm on it...https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

ohh the turbo is goin to my buddies shop ( turbonetics dealer) so ill know whats up then, he said he might even have the parts laying arround...lol

Cool. Glad everything is working out for you.

ill only be down sunday for work, but ill be home arround christmass https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif so ill bring some hatts home then, turbos goin to jims tomorow

so i hear the beast is alive???

There are two versions of the Racing wastegate. One uses a standard flange while the other uses a larger racing flange. I would have posted pics from HKS Japan but the link wasn't working.

len, i have the same manifold . the quality is top notch, but mine wont fit. the holes needs opening. my old apex manifold would go on the studs easily. this one jams about half way. i'll post some pics soon

len, WTF happened to that turbo? there is like a 1/4 inch play from side to side... some visual damage to the wheel and housing. hope there is not to much wrong when Jim cracks it open. and i hope it doesnt end up costing as much as a NEW one to rebuild it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif maybe that is why the origianl owner sold it... :twisted:

ouch!!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Dude its only like .080 play. He was fully aware of that.



I'm not out to **** anyone.

did you have this turbo apart before selling it? i think if you did, the story may have been a little different if you were being honest. did it not get oil?

unfortunatly i was not there to see it in person, but maybe Len will chime in with what was found. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/blackeye.gif



BTW Len, give me a call while you are home.

I explained the situation to Len via PM. He and I will handle this.



Lets keep this thread on topic.......

that never happens!

everythgins cool kieth, way to have my back bro https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/bigthumb.gif



ill give u a call dont worry,





since your car runs when we gonna tune?? or u content driving the HONDUH? heheheh

what about this manifold? i have heard you were having fitment issues with the turbo hitting the lower intake manifold. what's going on as i have this manifold now too.

i want this manifold... need it for a 2nd gen s5 TII though.

add some racing beat flanges so they become spacers
