no probs will do. Its going on the dyno next Friday to test some thing else but that will also answer the spiking question. It seems to be holding and no where near as violent but I aint keen on thrashing it on the street to confirm.

Run mine up today with one of these manifolds. 14psi spring in the manifold and dead steady boost control. Run it up to 17psi and no boost creep what so ever. Very happy.

Any pics of the setup on your car mate?

Sean would love that tight bend right before the throttle body :laugh:

You have the AFM in the cooler piping I take it??

Yeah its rather tight, after talking to a few more people about a FFP im really thinking it may be next :(

Yeah afm's just after the intercooler, i was expecting to have hose problems with it blowing off but didnt have one :)

No but I can grab some. Because the power steering line loops up on the 34's makes the intake pipe tight and the waste gate port runs pretty close to the a/c lines. Not problems though. Had to chop up a 14mm spanner to get 2 bolts done up to and trim 2 studs, actually easier to bolt on then my mate's 6 boost.

Just spent 2 days reading this whole thread (hiding at work haha) general concensus seems good for the money. At the end of the day it's stronger than a china manifold, but cheaper than a 6boost. As long as they fit + hold together + hold boost their a winner in my book. I couldn't care less about pretty welds if they do what their supposed to - but that's just me.

Pm sent

I'm going to wait till there's a twin scroll / split pulse one.. I'll be all over that shit like a sale at bunnings

We do Top mounts currently with split pulse,

Without gate? I am planning to mount the gate on the rear housing instead of off the manifold

Hey MSports what size gate did you end up using? I have to change mine to suit a bigger gate cos I'm spiking from 4500 and above witht the durty 30 with about 20psi worth of springs fitted. I used a Turbosmart 40mm gate.

Yeah, its still a tad messy, was in a rush to finish it, Still gotta neaten it all up.

does it clear the A/C lines, heater lines, extra brake lines (ABS)?

also with the gate installed, does it clear the suspension tower ok?

PICS PICS PICS of under car etc... :)

I used a Tial 44mm MVR, no spiking what so ever, flat boost curve the whole time.

I'll grab some pic's soon, been at work all week, i work 12hr shifts so havnt had a chance.

The A/C line's need to be moved towards the strut tower, i just cable tied it away. Heater hoses are clear although i heat wrapped mine and clear's the ABS fine. No clearance problems anywhere.

I had no clearance problems with my R33, but the gate pipe was sitting way too close to the aircon lines, so i cut it and adjusted the angle slightly and it sits better now. That part could do with a slight redesign tho.

the photos aren't that clear on his eBay site.... but is the wastegate port perpendicular to the flow of the outlet?

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
