Two go in and one comes out (Operation body swap)

That vc is sex.

Thanks but the MSM valve cover is way better. Shame it would require a lot of tweaking in order for it to work because the wire holes are smaller due to the COPs. Mazda wanted something like $580 for it new No thanks..

Started getting the manifold ready for the wastegate today. Still need to pop a hole in it for the tube though.

I'm going to be following that same path soon. Ewg all the way.

:D I dunno why but the 2nd and 3rd pic make the cut look rough when its all very smooth. Must be the shadowing/lighting.

looks familiar did you follow in my footsteps? i happened to leave a link regarding a good pipe to use for that application

$30.72 shipped is pretty harsh for that piece and the link is dead btw. I'm pretty sure I can get the same thing locally for much cheaper. I'm not quite sure how I'm going about doing that yet. I wanted to reverse it with maybe a 45° but this would mean I'd have to find a smaller radiator since it would place the wastegate in to the radiator.. I'm not knocking the way you did it by any means, just thinking that's going to hinder some of the boost control on the 90° going vertical. Whether or not it will be worth it though is a different story. Thoughts?

Hey ryan what exactly did you use to bore the hole with? How much of the divider did you remove once inside? Curious before I just dive in to it.

Dont be stupid enough to attempt welding in stainless pipe to a cast manifold. Stainless is brittle & will not support the use as your seeking in this case without prematurely cracking- i personally don't care what anyone else be it a pro welder or not has to say. theres a damn good reason i chose the material i did

I had my manifold professionally bored with a bridgeport CNC machine it was machined farther in then needed VS how my pipe was inset into the manifold.
Try to retain as much material as possible. cast is strong until you start thining it out.

THe link i posted is stainless also
