Yeah I'm in Canada.

Phil I do have the wastegate already, but I still need an efan and maybe a BOV (although I like just letting the compressor try to stall )- I'm going to check you site out toda.

i would rather be in FL than canada.

i can do a tial 50mm knock off and slim fan for $115 shipped to canada. any other BOV would make the whole deal cheaper, but i think thats the best one i sell. i use it myself

Nice build. Has anyone tried using cad programs to design their manifolds? I have been playing around with my autocad and modeled a generic 6 into manifold. The flange is a gt-35r and the tubing is 1.75" O.D. everything else is fictional.

Thanks guys- I'm pretty happy with the new manifold layout- Going T4 twin scroll makes the merge a lot easier to build/visualize as opposed to a freakshow 6-into-1 deal. Hoping to fir this thing in the next month or so.

You see guys design manifolds using solidworks etc, but 90% of the time it seems that they end up having to change the layout in real life anyways, due to some unforseen clearance issue they didn't take into account on the computer like the oil drain having nowhere to go or something.

Once you get some practice "visualizing" the layout/planning it in your head, it's not too hard to do without software.

Where I do think cad could be useful is for AFTER you build the manifold, then draw what you actually built. Then you could play with it for the sake of analyzing runner flow, length, etc. But I don't have time for that ----. I say just build the **** and crank up the boost!

Phil I am in for the fan/BOV, I will get ahold of you soon.
