The quick spool valve wont work with twin scroll manifolds, unless you feel like shutting off 3 cylinders untill it reaches peak boost.

would work if you had a single scroll manifold but you dont, the twin scroll setup should work better than the spool valve thing anyway.

its a 1.40 but thats just what came with the turbo. Ive just ordered a 1.01 with a t6 flange from the states cuz little did we kow that the manifold was a t6 flange, so instead of changing the manifold we changed the rear housing :huh:

yeah i did man, at the end of the day i still didnt want to change the beautiful 6boost manifold and i only paid $400 with the vband clamp and flange with shipping from the states and i know that it will bolt straight on :D an honestly you would be crazy not to buy stuff from the US atm the dollar is so good, im looking at buying a tial 60mm gate for $535 try finding that kinda price in AUS :thumbsup:

well me and the old man got stuck into the car today as I was only back for the day.

We got the waste gate welded to the manifold

started the dump pipe

mounted the radiator and intercooler in the engine bay and started to fab the top bracket

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
