Thanks. i was having trouble building the manifold the way i wanted to and was trying to buy a manifold off of sasha but he stopped writing me back after he gave me the price so then i did a 45 day training event in new york at west point. so when i got back i was fresh and finshed 90% of the kit in 4 days y i was on leave...i'm hopefully going to make some really number and i'm going to push this kit as far as i can.

Great work. It takes some balls to tackle a project like this.

1slow370 07-29-2014 12:30 PM

Nah it takes balls to have children, it takes knowledge, lots of equipment, lots of time, and about 5-7 grand to tackle a project like this. On the oil filter placement have you twisted it off in position on the car? sometimes you have to watch the clearance to the bottom when it is being loosened so that in your case when you go to take it off the corner doesn't get stuck on your oil pan. Hard to tell in the pics if it is in front of the pan or right on the side of it.

Awesome work my man!

Just an item to note. In that second to last picture above, be really careful of that t-bolt clamp right next to the oil filter. That charge pipe is going to move around a good bit and you don't want it puncturing/rubbing a hole in the oil filter.

I have the BP kit and charge pipe knocks against the subframe so I know from experience.

Yes agreed to all the points above..on the oil filter it goes on and off with ease it does come close but with the oil filter I picked it's perfect. But I do see you point. I could make the plate go up alil to make some more clearance. ..thanks for the advice...

Anytime. I didn't pay much attention to it until it started knocking all the time. I can't find anything good to wedge in there so I became comfortable with leaving as-is until the next time I drop the turbo.

Be prepared to do a ton of zip tying as you put miles on it. I'm still noticing where things are clearancing themselves almost four months later. A lot of old radiator hose and zip ties on my car now.
