it’d probably be more truthful to say that none of us are as smart as we think we are (we includes me).
the idiot part isn’t doing that, it’s not having beefed up a drivetrain than can be broken with the original torqueless wonder NA engine
i.e. is the idiot half full or half empty?

Yeah ..it's a great concept . I imagine it will enable te fitting of larger turbine housings whilst retaining the lightning fast spoolup of a smaller one .
In other news ...... I've heard that a lot of those with these turbos end up blowing drivetrain components due to all the torque !

Bought myself a welder so had to spend a bit of time relearning how to weld! Now have the new manifold tacked together and ready to fully weld. Once that's done I'll have to modify the downpipe , wastegate pipe , compressor inlet,outlet and oil drain. Lot bigger job than I imagined ...but that is just normal for me ....
Really excited to see how it goes though!

Soo if I understand this correctly: Improvements are being made to the most heavily researched Renesis turbo project in the world and when complete the "Brettus Turbo Package" complete with tuning will be available to all. Where do I sign up??? Additionally how do I get RotoryMachine to assist with the install...………because he has worked through a couple of these projects and is close by (compared to brettus)……..LOL

So far:
*Manifold is super compact
*The turbo (with 1.06 turbine housing) and associated pipework all fits in beautifully
*I have way more room than with previous setup
*Heat management should be a breeze
*Good flow paths for all associated pipework
*Have retained the 38mm wastegate ....this is quite small comparatively, but it worked great in previous setup and my flow path to it is almost as good so ...fingers xd
*It had better work because I've modified too many parts to turn back now

All back together and tested .
*No issues
*Boost control is perfect ... am able to hold 6psi spring pressure all the way to redline (no creep at all). Makes 280whp at only 6psi
*Small gain in low range which I think is more to do with improved siamese flow pre opening of WG (old setup used siamese solely for WG duties , new one doesn't)
*Stock ground clearance . was able to reuse stock crossmember
*spoolup is the same (still good but no improvement)
*Power is the same up top (still good but no improvement)
*Exhaust tone has changed markedly once WG opens ...nice aggressive tone but a little quieter.
Overall ....pretty happy with result even though the major goal was not achieved.
Still have something up my sleeve that I can try now that I know boost control isn't an issue.

So , been driving it around a fair bit giving it plenty of jandal.
*Only running 12psi ATM (due to lack of ethanol) but car still feels very quick and responsive.
*Am missing the extra sound that I used to get from the dual exhaust when the WG opened - think I might have to remove one resonator from the WG pipe to get that manic scream back !
*Been thinking about pulling the manifold again to make a tweak . Will drive it around some more just to make sure there are no issues first. I cut out a notch to allow crossflow on the twinscoll but I'm now thinking that I really didn't need to do that . Replacing it should improve spoolup ...x-fingers!
But even as it is right now ...am pretty excited about the way it has worked out!
New manifold @ 12psi (no boost cut)
