If I bought an off-the-shelf GT2650 kit, I knew that I'd always regret not getting the EFR6258 instead, it spools much faster and generates more power than the GT2560.

Now that it's almost complete, I'm glad I did, it's friggin' awesome!


Having spoken to you in person I can honestly say I think you will be disappointed about 2 months after you've got this back......







Because it still has stock bottom end and knowing you, you will want more! Haha :grin:

Not for long :P

Unfortunately until then, it will be like sleeping in the same bed as Salma Hayek but not being able to touch her until the engine is built.

Manifold is currently at the ceramic shop getting a couple of coats of Turbo X ceramic coat. Build to handle 2000c and keep the heat and therefore turbo spooling energy IN.

About an inch of clearance, it should be wrapped or shielded some way.

the manifold design isnt mine, i was asked to build a Greddy manifold for a 1.8L with a T28 so the options for a good 3" downpipe are few and far unfortunately its just a difficult spot to work around and the downpipe took a very long time and as you can see quite a few different welded sections.
