1 that i dont have to cut the mani to use a external wastegate 2 it already runs a t4 flange and 3 had no choice bcuz my turbo size witch i already had



the wastegate its gonna its a 38mm or 35mm its kinda small i know but that and the bov i already had, so im gonna use them regarless they where brand new and never installed

I'm sure its because the GT30 is the largest turbo that can fit in the GReddy location and that takes some custom work. With a top mount you can work on the turbo easier and upgrade to a bigger turbo if you need to. Plus it just looks cool.

Not without cutting off the wastegate flange and attaching a new one. The PTP manifold comes with a 38mm wastegate flange.

Yes, the cold side piping. how do you plan to route it? Through the intake hole or next to the radiator?

That looks like a GReddy kit a budy of mine has on his FD. Nice setup! Where are you moving the PCM/ECU to?

it will be in the same location. thats why I said very similar. by the pic of this 8, the owner looks like he just butchered the pcm to the right side of the turbo.

I already relocated the battery, well a new battery (deka) like the esmeril one, to free up some room.
