what feeds what?

is it compound or is there one of them there fancy bypass valve thingy's.

It will run bypass, much to my dismay

I really wanted to see 100 pounds of boost..

Simple and effective.

Yeah its a piece I found that I think is left over from your car actually, If I wasnt poor I would spend days modeling it in solidworks and then try and replicate the cad**. Its just 17" long (the target runner length) and 1cm extra each end. You lay your first runner, then plan the rest by putting it into the ports in place of the runner (so it just hangs in the air) and you decide from there where you will run a pipe.

After that you tack the first bits on and run the tube through, and this give you an idea if you are on the right track and how far away the next bend must be to keep target length

Here it is, just sandblasted, ready to break down into pieces and weld up fully. More on FaceBook.

The owner is a fairly unconventional sorta guy (the build kinda gives that away), I'm sure you could convince him to try!

Im still doing these BTW, every week or 2 another one gets done, lots of turbo NA6's around these days. I don't tend to post a lot of these because everyone knows the deal, you supply the turbo 2-3k depending on options and you have a full turbo kit for an NA, everything included. Options on this one are flex pipe, full intercooler setup with recirc BOV. By memory around the $2700 mark for this one with everything it needs including a brand new Megasquirt PnP2 standalone ECU.

This has a wrx TD04, using a split dump pipe which will be the coolest looking part I have to made (merges and expanders and flex's and stuff

)

It would need to be ITB specific unfortunately, send me a set and some money and you will have some

Solution would be to use the same bolt patten as the jenvey ones, afaik they're the same for 1.6, 1.8.

What would also be cool is a better plenum and bigger throttle body to suit the different jenvey adaptors like these:

what model td04 is it, or what wheel sizes are in that,(compressor and turbine).i've been looking at Kinugawa td04's and interested in how this goes.

The port centre distance is different between 1.6 and 1.8L.

Be carefull with angle grinders people. They are dangerous. I got my hand so this is an open apology to anyone waiting on parts they may be delayed a day or 2. Looks like i just need some stitches.

Photos not appropriate for the forum. Ill post some post stitches.

Its not very bad or big its just deep and minced up. Lost most of a day at work. I should be able to get back into it tomorrow. I hoped to have the above kit completed by tonight along with posting the mazdaspeed throttle body inlets and bovs sold so far.
