hello guy, i bought Hypergear turbo and Tomei turbo elbow for stock turbo position. now, i don't want to spend more on changing the setup. So, i m wondering if there's any good low mount exhaust brand. Enlighten me with ur knowledge fellows. i want the best out of it. ty guys

I think @Dose Pipe Sutututu made over 400kw with a modified factory one. 
No point changing unless going to high mount setup.

Correct, just had a gate welded to it and kept the OEM divider :) 

 

I use a modified factory manifold (ported and 45mm external gate) and make 300kw at 16psi.
Found it spools quicker than same turbo on a high mount manifold

Doesn't it logically make some sense that the factory low mount manifolds are going to spool faster than high mount? To generate pressure on the intake side requires backpressure on the exhaust side, the more exhaust volume you have to fill the slower that happens.

Yep, but you often hear internet keyboard experts say they went to a high mount and it gained response, same way you often hear people saying they went higher duration cams and it made the car less laggy lol

Maybe. The factory manifold doesn't have a lot of science in it, so I'd be reasonably open to the possibility of a well designed high mount manifold meeting or beating the spool performance of the stocker. You probably wouldn't be able to have large diameter runners. They'd probably have to be kept at the skinny end of the workable range. Smaller diameter runners would also help with keeping the runner lengths down too, as you wouldn't be building out of such big bends.

Probably a self defeating exercise to do all that for a small runner low power high mount manifold though!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
