Worked out well, IMO
I traded a stock S60R manifold for this reworked S60R manifold.

Garrett GT3071R-WG

Tape it up with some painters tape or something don't leave it like that.

Nice turbo btw.

[Bazarvospeed]

My build was no-where near as neat as this. Well done.

Turbo looks a little small tho

[7 VII 7]

still baffles me how small these engines are

Nice mani!, looks like it was made that way
I'll have the R mani ported and installed here shortly, thanks again for the trade.

Nice Trent! The car should really move after that. What tune will you run on it ? Any luck finding a good manual, turbo tune for it ? Is this the old motor or did you source a spare ?

Thanks Matt,
Hoping the car will be stupid and fun to drive at the same time. I am planning on going to town on the motor that I pull out of the car. Nothing better than always having a motor to mess with.
