Personally, I'm still a fan of how we have JPC put them atop the manifold (which we'll be doing a different setup with the 2 bolt flanged turbos soon) as the MVS is no where near the BMC that way, and out of the way of everything.


COol stuff though. When are your planned power pulls? My entire turbo setup is off my car, and dare I say, awaiting your results to see which way I go.

However if you're far out, I'll probably just follow through my gut and get one too...I'm hoping to have it back on the dyno by mid march if I do go through with it

If everything goes as planned I am hoping to have it on a dyno by the end of next week. Also, are you speaking of the stock cast manifold that they are attaching the wastegate to? If so do you know the process they are using to attach? I just welded one up for an rb motor, and used a stainless tube on the top of the mani. It was my first time working with cast but it seemed to work well. I do know that cast isnt the easiest to attach a disssimilar metal to, and if not done with the right material can can lead to cracks. I used 99ni rod to weld it up. Just looking for more info on working with these materials, thanks.
