Hello just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with ks racing manifolds, I recently purchased a top mount and am happy with the overall quality but the angle of the t3 seems to be pointing the turbo  really close to the valve cover, I currently don’t have a turbo to test fit but am looking to get a 3076 and am thinking I may have fitment issues and was wondering what people have done to counter act this, and yes I’m aware 6boost is what I should have bought before everyone comments that haha. Any input appreciated 🥂

Does seem to be a stupid angle. You might end up needing an angled spacer. The trouble with spacers is they use up....space and the angle might get better but the room left is still not enough.

Yea I was thinking about a spacer but came to the same conclusion I was hoping my eyes were playing a trick on me and someone has had success with the same manifold 

Sorry but WTF is that merge collector 😳😳😳

I sincerely hope that u got that for free or basically free.

I can’t see that working out for you. The most hassle free way to fix it is to take it off and buy something better.

yeah sorry but that does look pretty sh1t. I use one like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003648296789.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.11.6567474c9ga2rG&algo_pvid=912783c9-3044-4f88-a035-728286787b0c&algo_exp_id=912783c9-3044-4f88-a035-728286787b0c-5&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!192.70!192.7!!!121.98!!%402101f49f16923538504684434e3acc!12000026642021204!sea!AU!4138068839!&curPageLogUid=W4PW53XF41pW   

yes the wastegate outlet is shocking. No argument there...but with an EBC and the right sized turbo, boost control is not an issue. I was prepared to internally ground shite welds etc but it didn't have any issues like that, it is of decent thick construction, 3?+ years and no cracking, apart from where the wastegate tube comes out of the manifold. Welded that up and welded in a small brace to that tube, and haven't had any further issues. Fits GTX3076 just fine. I was looking at 6boost but bought this cos it was about $280 aus delivered so why not, and very happy with that choice years on now.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
