Honestly mate don't know if the full race is better or not. Would need to do some back to back testing which would be a real pain in the ass as you would need to plumb up 2 different sets of gates.

If I had my time again I would probably just bought a 6 boost one for reasons such as

1. Cheaper

2. Quicker to obtain (each fullrace manifold is made On order)

3. If it cracked or failed in anyway would be easier for warranty

4. The full race is a bit of a nightmare plumbing wise.

Though I do like how the manifold looks and how it makes the turbo sit towards the front of the car.

I also had to cut a bit of the re enforcement out of my bonnet to fit the Massive frame of the BW

yeah there'd want to be some noticeable up side to warrant the above trade-offs..

How long did it take from payment till it turned up on your doorstep Joey?

It was a while ago but from what I can recall it was ages.. Like as in months.

It didn't bother me at the time as the car wasn't ready anyway.

Also if you order from the US you will pay tax.. Not like the dodgy japs who put Down 700 bucks for a nismo pump, injectors and a twin plate copper mix :D

I do admitt the manifold is a work of art though and I don't regret buying it

I would not regret buying it either, it is a very well designed manifold, better design than the 6boost.

Any email back? The one on the 34 did look a little bigger but by how much I couldn't say. I'd love to know!

What do you think you will order for your car John? 6466?

Email - yes, Answer - no. But will let you know as soon as I do.

I did however email a mob over in the US and they put the 6466 in the middle of the EFR 8374 and 9180 in terms of response and power. This makes it a good choice I'd rekon.

I'm still committed to more time with my twin EFR's, however they're only 1 failure away from being replaced for good.

Interesting.

Wasn't the berry 34 running an EFR last year? If so, I wonder what the reason for the swap was.

Whilst it's not my place to answer on Mark's behalf, I can tell you from experience that anyone dealing with BW in the early "EFR Launch" days didn't really get looked after that well by them. this experience makes the decision to change fairly easy, dollar permitted ofcourse!

Can you elaborate how they are better in design?.. I haven't really checked out the 6 boost yet

The runner lengths are designed correctly (pulse tuned), 6boost is not. I believe it to be important in turbo manifold design.

suffered undisclosed secret issues that could neither be confirmed nor denied while discussions with BW was ongoing? :ninja:

lol yeah at the time... Plenty knew what had happened, yet the marketing machine was trying to avoid admitting it.

what have you done Jase?

lol

lol its not definite yet, but I have the invoice for a 5558 .64

was going to pay it this week but funding fell short :( will need to wait a few more weeks maybe

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
