I think Kingpin has a DP available and he is local so there won't be any shipping. What I need aside from that is a blown stock turbo to get the positions right. Once I have that I can make downpipes for any turbo and also build in the wastegate pipe so it will be a complete upgrade kit.

[ATE BALLER]

Ah, but kingpin has an MS3. I have an MS6. They have totally different DPs.

MS3


MS6


If you are interested in making a DP for the 6 as well, I'll donate to the cause. I'd love to send you my blown stock turbo too, but it's still on the car, while I'm waiting for your manifold and DP ;(

Forgot about that! Well the pipe would be good. Then all I need is a turbo. If all goes well I can set up the whole thing for you to bolt on to your car.

How in the hell you pull that off?

Sweet! That's kinda what I was hoping. Maybe I could send you a wastegate and an exhaust housing for the BT?

They only do the plug-in test here. If you don't throw any codes and they can 'see' a cat, then you're good to go. Factory heat sheild off cat, remounted over the flex section in the cpe dp looks so close to stock it's not even funny, lol. I never got any codes when I was running the dp with my home-brew exhaust, but once I got the corksport I started getting the 'slow responce' code for bank 2. So I borrowed my buddy's MAC TOOLS diagnostic thingy and cleared everything at a stoplight on the way there. Car even smoked like a mofo when they pulled it in the garage, ROFLMFAO! I couldn't fucking believe they passed it! It took everything I had in me not to bust out laughing at the dude's face when he handed me my keys, lol!

[QUOTE]

That would be perfect! I still need to find a stock turbo to get the initial locations sorted though.

Nice job on the emissions BS. Stick it to "The man"!

[willie23]

ATE- are you sending him the oem dp? or aftermarket? because if your sendin aftermarket i have a oem here sitting around..

[ATE BALLER]

I'm sending him the oem dp.

Leen, do you want the second cat as well? I was hoping you'd make it a shorty dp so I can put the second cat back in for my next inspection, and use this test pipe to tone down the drone.

I'll send you the second cat if you want it though (without the heat shields )

Just send me whatever you think I need and I'll build it the way you want it. Shorty or whatever. Could you take a pic of them all bolted together so I can see how they are arranged before they arrive?

USPS slow mail is fine. Let me know cost and I'll send you the money for shipping.

Cheers!

Leen

subbing

[ATE BALLER]

Consider it done! Don't worry about the shipping either. Just take it off my mani wnen I get it

[wisniaPl]

its gona be nice setup...dont route screamer pipe to dp....its sound awesome when is routed to the ground....

[willie23]

So everything is done? would it just bolt-on with no problem on a ms6?

[steedspeed]

It has stock location for the turbo on the interchangable flange version so yes it will bolt straight up. The T3 only version I made for Darksun280 holds the turbo in a different angle + higher but the turbine outlet stays in virtually the same spot so anyone with Vband outlet can probably use their existing downpipe. Someone will have to try it first to be sure though.

Takers?

Your manifold has T3/stock in stock turbo location. Darksun280 has the angled version with T3 flange only. Yes got the payment, thanks!

ill be a taker!! to try it first on a ms6 stock turbo/stock location.

[martyxattack]

steed you rock. really making things convenient for some of us less brave speeders but who also wanna play

I will be buying one as soon as they are available.

Great job steedspeed!!

P.s. If you need help with anything please let me know as I am also located in Canada (Montreal) so shipping might be a tad cheaper and I have another car to drive so downtime isn't a problem.

They are pretty much available right now. I have some almost finished and I have in house ceramic coating sorted now. I'm actually applying 2 coatings. First I'm applying "NIC Piston coat" to keep the heat in and then I'm applying the colored ceramic top coat for looks + additional heat protection.

[SneakyP86]

Cool Leen now that your doing your own coating what are the colors that you can do? Also when will you be shipping?

[RhoadBlock]

Damn, I'm excited now. What is the pricing again? I've read a few prices now. I want one for my MS6, stock turbo flange, but id also like the T3 flange as well.

P.S. - For a BW S258 or S366 turbo...would a 38mm EWG be sufficient? Or would a 44mm be better?

[steedspeed]

I can't send yours til I get the V band flange from Tial which is on its way to me. I just need it so I can get the sizes so I can make some on the CNC lathe. As far as colors go I can get a variety but I only have silver in stock right now + the piston coat which is a sort of bronze color.

I'm going to be charging $625 for the manifolds and will include 1 flange with the interchangable style manifolds. Additional flanges are $40. If you are going to go with a much bigger turbo Like a BW I suggest you go with the same style as Darksun280 which has just a T3 flange but places the turbo in a better position to make more room.

Once I have a stock turbo I can start setting up and building a variety of down pipes so you can just bolt it all on without having to custom fab stuff.

[RhoadBlock]

OK, so get a T3 flanged mani and your stock adapter then? I won't be going with the bigger turbo until this summer at the absolute earliest.

I don't think that will work. From what it sounds like he's saying is the t3 manifold angles the turbo so if you got that one and put a stock flange on, it would make the stock turbo sit in a non-stock position which is gonna mess things up.

[bf360]

you kind of have to make the choice now, if you defintely going big turbo i would do the same style as darksuns which angles it, but you cant use it with your stock turbo so you might as well do the mani, gate and turbo at the same time

[Mzspeed]

Just to be clear and please correct me if I'm wrong, the standard features of the manifold are :

1. Stock interchangable turbo flange;
2. 38mm EWG flange;
3. EGT bung;
3. Silver powdercoat.

What about the screamer pipe??

I'm hoping to get a complete kit together so you can just buy everything at once and it will all fit.

No pipe with just the manifold but I'll take care of that with the kit I'm working on.

[ksource]

So what's the ETA on this bad boy?

[RhoadBlock]

Good deal then. Perhaps I'll wait until you get a whole kit together for the MS6. Mani w/ Tial EWG (I'd like 44mm but I can port the EWG flange if need be I suppose) and downpipe. And probably at least an inlet pipe. God this summer is gonna be a fun one.....

[steedspeed]

I have 7 which aren't spoken for right now. I am leaving them unfinished so I can do them to customer requirements with regard to turbo and wastegate flanges. Once ordered I can get one finished in about a week.

[Mzspeed]

1. What will be included in the kit?
2. What is the ETA for the kit?
3. Could I buy the manifold right now and purchase the other parts (such as your screamer pipe) later?

Thanx

[ksource]

Wait so ordering is open? Dibs! haha.

Just curious is your price set as an intro price or general pricing?

[steedspeed]

I am pricing it low because the exchange rate between USD/CAD is 80 cents right now. If it goes back to par the price will be closer to $725.

[RhoadBlock]

shit then i need to order soon...

[xxtruflipxx]

So the ewg will be all v band to accommodate the new tial wastegate...

[steedspeed]

That's what I am doing unless otherwise requested. If you haven't got a wastegate yet the V band 38mm is probably your best bet. If you have one already I can weld on whatever flange you require to suit.
