here's my new turbo set up:

Master Power TO4E 57 trimStock Manifold with SSAC external wastegate adapter welded on38 mm Wastegatecustom flange welded onto stock dump pipe



I ditched the stock turbo because it was blown. Through a friend, I got the turbo for free and had a local shop weld the manifold and dump pipe.

nice dude !!!

i was looking at that ssac wg adapter too ... from what i found theres lots of room to spare to run that with no bmc / heat issues.

its either that or going with another ebay topmount mani but im scared of hood clearance while running a gt3076

I think its a cool concept, but I will in no way vouch for this product because of its fitment issues. Yes, the setup now fits fine in the engine bay, but it took a lot of fabrication to get it all to work out. First, the holes in the adapter are threaded and too small for the manifold studs, let alone the fact that there is zero space to fit the stud-nut where the WG exit is. Thus, I had to weld the adapter to my manifold. Also, the wastegate exit sits dangerously close to the manifold, so close actually that I had to shave down the back side of my wastegate housing to make it fit...all in all, I probably could have saved a lot of time and effort just buying a new manifold, but I tend to do things my way and learn along the way... eh, we'll see how it all works out.

Is the RB pilot bushing the same as a KA bushing?
