Long restless nights, I have been pestered by countless people... taunting me about my girth (T2!!)

Depressed, sad, not knowing what to do, I had to rethink things over. I told myself, what can I do to win over WD's heart?NEW PICS added!

Low and behold:









GT3582R .78AR divided housing with Tial 44mm v-band wastegate attached.



I'm getting so bored of my car. I don't know what to buy for it anymore....... Oh yeah, I got new wheels... again...



18x9.5 +118x10.5 +12

215/40/18 on the 9.5(stretch armstrong!)

245/40/18 on the 10.5(a little meatier)

Manifold is sweet. I really want to talk to full race about that manifold.. I wana know why they dont run a duel WG so it would be true twin scroll. Thats my only concern. Im sure its still gona be an awesome manifold, but the fact that its not 100 percent divided bothers me.

Regardless, nice.

I noticed that the SR T3 twin-scroll is also single wastegate but the T4 is dual.

Yea im not exactly sure how much of a difference it would make really, but it would make a difference. Hey, can you do a close up pic of the inside of the wastegate port/flange 'collector'? Where the two pipes merge. I want to see how they did it.

EDIT - Well actually from the pic i can already see, i was wondering if they had a divider of some sort to try to keep the exhaust pulses separate. Doesnt look like they did.

The pipes are kept separate front the turbo flange all the way till it meets the wastegate flange.

Yea i can see that much. My question was if they had made a divider up to the 44mm WG V-Band flange, which i dont think they did. Similar to the same style of divider thats inside the twin scroll t3 flange. It would have SOME benefit.

480sx, you are correct.

There is no divider at the 44mm flange.

OFFTOPIC: do you guys have any idea why my title is "I have downsyndrome"? Where did that come from?

As well they should be

Manifold looks awsome man...really nice piece. Stretched tires are ugly...like my butt after nothing but hotwings and budlight for 2 months straight.

You got the title because you never posted pics of the drag radials MOUNTED. Go check your thread, I left a note for you

Its more like trying to stretch a pair of speedos that are three sizes too small over said "butt."

You can do it if it will get him to ditch the stretched tires, but just put a NSWABS (Not Safe For Anyone But Sunny) warning in the thread title and lock it. I'm too young to go completely blind...
