Since day one I've had problems with turbo sitting too low for gravity drain and the 38mm wastegate was causing boost creep in winter. I always liked the Jv 666 manifold so it was time to fix things!
Dropped the car off at Insane Innovations and they flipped the manifold after some fabrication work, made me a new downpipe, new intercooler piping, welded on a 44mm wastegate flange, and heat coated turbo and downpipe. I was in huge shock when I first saw the hood but after a few days it kinda grew on me. Just thought I would share with ya guys.
Cragg thanks for the oil cooler cap, it came in today and I installed it.
I dig it.
fuego!
Im down with the sickness

Looks good man, stay away from flying debris!
Did anything have to be done to the manifold so that the turbo and valve cover didn't interfere? Looks like a pretty awesome setup!
now that is a cold air intake.
Car looks great, it kinda scares me.
Looks good man! What size wheels are those?

Looks sick. Glad the cap showed up and is working out well for you. Enjoy.
That hood cutout is awesome.

The cap is awesome! Very easy install, thanks again! Any idea how much oil to add?

Honestly no. I don't drive my car much at all and I do need a double ball bearing there is a pretty solid screen on turbo though and the turbo is not sticking out really.

Thanks guys, I am really happy especially now running a 45mm wastegate right under turbo I see no boost creep at all and I don't have oil smoke problems anymore which is great.
I like it!

Yeah I'm in N.Phoenix. Been wanting to pick up those same wheels, they look sick on your car. My car is mostly in the garage, runs well but need registration and insurance right now as well as a few small odds and ends. We should meet up sometime once I'm road ready should be next month or so.Originally Posted by Somy
