    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    welding cast iron isnt a fun option. id either use a helicoil on it, or get an adapter such as 1/4 npt to 1/8 npt. also thought id mention, be sure it is 1/8 npt and not 1/8 pt. npt is 27 pitch, and pt is 28 pitch.

    new boostwerx t6 manifold

    here is a pic of the turbo mounted thats a boostwerx intake manifold too. 7m stuff could be made, and has. but not often since most would rather have one off ebay for a lot cheaper. there isnt a price set for this one or the t4 flanged one, but it will be cheaper than the full race...

    Dual stage single turbo

    doward- sure it would increase the back pressure. but usually this is meant for large housings. it blocks half to increase spool, then in higher rpm it will open for full flow. marshall did this on his 1.15 housing, except he didnt have the fancy gate so to speak. he just blocked his off w/ a...

    Dual stage single turbo

    did you guys go off topic or miss the original intent of the thread? he was talking about a spacer that goes between the turbo and the manifold that blocks 1/2 of the turbine inlet to increase spool.

    apexi s-afc

    be advised: often the apexi manual will show the white and yellow wires to be used for airflow signal. for our car we need to use the pink and orange. orange is the afm side, and pink is the ecu side.

    Is the GT3540R turbo worth the money?

    true, but those motors have a lot higher compression than we do. mr y- not the cleanest solution, but you could simply redrill the t4 housing to mate to the stock housing. most likely youd have to run the E cover on the gt35r. i dont think there is enough clearance to run the S cover, i...

    Electric vs. Mech gauges.

    mechanical pressure gauges read directly off the fluid. there is no sending unit. maybe you are thinking about an isolator kit. not sure about the temp gauges, ive never seen what you are talking about. all the ones ive seen if they use copper its hollow tubing. all that being said, id much...
