Good lucking engine bay mang :dblthumb: Looks like plenty of room for the WG. It doesn't even look like you had to mod the manifold--really clean. Did he use his own tubing to make the WG runners or just chop and rotate?

He did use some material to message it down from the 2-1 WG elbow transition. Besides that it fits nice. Sounds good when she cracks open too... :naughty:

If you havnt seen, Im having that issue with the 25 breaking up above 10psi... :biggrin: Might have my hands on a new set of lsx truck coils...

Car was never right after my last trip to the drag strip. Run after run with antilag, no breaks in between runs and 2 stepin at 80mph. Might of had something to do with. And im not sure if you guys remember but i was having a issue with the cas reading 15 degrees with the cas all the way ccw? Not really sure cause i havnt tore it down but cylinder 2 is showing 80psi and she is smoking white/ blue smoke. We all know what that mean so im unsure what route im gonna take now

damn straight!!!!!! im sure he must be losing lots of business from that!
only reason i am persisting with this is because i dont know of another twinscroll manifold for RB25 at this price.

I just spoke with him and he said he's emailed you several times now with no reply. Might want to check your junk mail settings. Either way, he said he's out of the top mounts right now, and it's going to be a few months minimum before he gets new ones in. He's having them tweaked to angle the flange away from the valve cover a bit. It'll make a bit more room for ginormous turbos :naughty:

Hmm, maybe he's getting the addy wrong. Like I said though, he's out of them right now and it's going to be a few months minimum, so I'd try him back then.

He said he was planning to, but I haven't talked to him in a couple weeks. I've been pretty busy with work. I'll give him a call soon and see if he's got any updates. I can almost assure you though that nothing is going to happen in the next few weeks.
