No, not really. Same could be said for some of your stuff which at times seems misguided. But lets not get picky eh?

It stands to reason that if not one person i know and many other users on this forum (so we arent talking about 5 cars here) dont have any issues what so ever...

And only you do/did/have/whatever a problem, and the manifold is but a band aid.

Be that tuning or other parts on the car that are causing your problem.

I dont believe in band aid fixes. I believe in fixing the problem at its cause.

It's not being picky, but just a response to a broard and sweeping statement from you that is not based on personal experience.

I'm speaking from personal experience with big low mount terbs - in particular the GT-RS units. MarkR34 fitted such a manifold to his R34 with GT-RS terbs fitted and the problem was almost eliminated. I did the same and achieved the same results.

Turbo shuffling isn't really a huge problem and does no real harm, it's just an annoying side affect of twin low mount terbs with large compressor wheels. The real "cure" (if you want to call it that) is to fit small compressor wheel units (or a single). Indeed I believe you are fitting GT-SS units?

I have 2 x 2860 or 2560 or whatever Garretts...(new name Vs old name), Power FC, cam gears (no cams), apexi intakes blah blah blah on an original build, standard slugs and rods. I get a very minor amount of surge but nothing like GTR.2NV is experiencing. I would be getting a power fc anyway, just to get the most out of the combo.

You mention the GT-RS, thats not what we are talking about, so you and markR34 are irrelevant to this thread in that he isnt using the big GT-RS's now is he?

If you re-read my statement which was quite particular and hardly broad at all considering i named the turbos, and the turbos are named in the first post, which arent large comp wheeled.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
