    I'm doing my single setup again.. I have a few questions from you though.. Where do you get the pipe for the turbo manifold from? And do you run both o2 sensors?

    I bought all the piping from: Ace Stainless . I'm going to run one wideband O2 sensor in the downpipe.

    Did you use 1.5" sch10? I've got a pair of the cnc blended flanges that are cut to fit that piping. Any more pics of the manifolds?

    Yeah, 1.5 schedule 10 into 2.5" piping to the turbo, since that was what matched up close to the T6 flange. I could take some more pictures next time I'm in the garage.

    Oh another problem I had last time was plugging the rear turbo oil feed. What do you use for that?

    I plugged the rear feed with a bolt. I bought it so long ago that I don't remember the size, but you could probably take one of the banjo bolts to a hardware store and find it. When I temporarily plugged the front I cut the feed line off right at the banjo fitting and welded it shut, that would work as well.

    Looks like you could clean it up alot with that different plenum. Is that the Chrysler one?

    Mid 90's V6 Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring, maybe others as well? This one was from a '98 V6 Dodge Avenger if I remember correctly. A bit of grinding had to be done to clear the rear valve cover, and I had to make block-off plates for the EGR and other unused ports.

    A few more things I just remembered, the stock 3S throttle body won't bolt to this manifold, so I made an adapter plate for that. The throttle body will also hit the master cylinder, so it has to be mounted at a bit of an angle.

    I likey!! I am a HUGE fan of BW turbos.

    I like your setup I thought long and hard where I wanted to mount the turbo, and that's the best place. Looks the best and keeps AC.

    Roy, why did you consider the s400 vs the s300sx?

    I haven't posted this up yet, but heres my BW single setup:



    Anyone interested in a BW turbo or this kit, hit me up

    Hey, Roy.

    I noticed the upper rad hose touching the secondary front exhaust pipe.



    Are you afraid of melthing that? Or will you wrap that exhaust section? Even then, will it melt the hose?

    Thanks,
    TP
