  1. Anyone else that has installed a bigger turbo on the factory manifold, without removing it and replacing all the stainless studs with mild steel ones?

    Just found out the long way that the stainless studs have an operational life...

    The growing and shrinking of the cast iron manifold works away at the brittle stainless items and fractures them untill complete failure. Then after a few let go (6 out of 13 for me) the exhaust pressure works at the gasket and bows through. Kinda ran like it had a mild cam at first, lol.

    Everyone probably knows...but still...just a heads up for any other noobs. :P

  2. Hey, just mounted up a new fmic and piping kit (last one got mingled into a dog) and now it has a crazy whistle/blowing noise when it comes on boost... Running 17 psi from a kkr 430 with factory airbox with the inlet piece off, because it doesn't fit and an aftermarket bov, to get rid of the annoying leak/whistle from the factory one. Not sure whats going on... Have checked all new fittings and joins for possible leaks and all appear fine. Also car still hammers and runs fine. Can anyone help please?
