Im thinking about upgrading from the IAP to the GrounZero manifold. I dont think I can hold out to much longer for the AMS one. I Just wanted to ask if anyone has any boost creep issues with the Groundzero manifold? Im running an AMS GT32 and Tial 38mm, anyone with similar setups have any issues?

just out of curiousity why do you want to get rid of the iap manifold? cause i have one and i have zero creep problems, and no cracking i have been running for 6000 miles.

Im having some boost creep issues. I think its because i bought my manifold used and the previous owner had snapped the dumptube and had it welded back on. Im gona make sure its not anything else before i order a new manifold, so today im takin off my dump pipe and gona run the wastegate straght out.

My only complaint is the fact the wastegate flange was designed so poorly. There is no reason to not design that correctly. I was told, take a hammer and smash the inside of your strut wall in to clear it. That was from them!! Im gonna try a less harsh method until the AMS one is out, then i will sell mine. Other than the crappy wastegate option, itsanice.

Its just a shame to spend 700 and have to cut off the factory flange, obtain some tubing and relocate the wastegate.

Look at azhitman pics, that wastegate flange didnt come like that, he modified it to.

shame...

Mine didn't come anywhere near the strut tower.

I cut and clocked mine so that the WG would clear the manifold runners, though.

If I had it to do over again, I'd have clocked it a little more, to allow easier access to the WG.
