Inside the right-hand-drive Tommykaira R, the driver is surrounded with evidence of the machine's pedigree. The stock vise-tight bucket seats and stock rear seats are trimmed in trademark Tommykaira red, and there's a Tommykaira steering wheel that's sublime to squeeze. In front and in plain sight is the Tommykaira gauge cluster, which houses, among other things, a 10,000-rpm tachometer with a lofty 8000 rpm redline. Tommykaira also mounted three gauges in a carbon-fiber surround, detailing boost pressure, oil temperature, and by far the coolest one, torque distribution between the front and rear wheels.

To the right of the steering wheel is the ignition. When the key is twisted, the car comes to life with a bark from the A'PEXi N1 downpipe and Tommykaira exhaust, then settles into a glass smooth 900-rpm idle. Thanks to Charles having deleted the catalytic converter and adding an A'PEXi intake, the TKR's voice is slightly more pronounced when clearing its throat, but it's far from obnoxious. This is one of those rare cars with more bite than bark. The slightly massaged twin Garrett turbochargers and 50-percent larger than stock Tommykaira intercooler extract a claimed 465-crank hp from the 2.6-liter engine.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
