    Who wants to hear about my build?

    It's more of a baby build really...

    It started out with me having to do some suspension work, then I decided that I wanted new turbos so I turned the stockers up to 16psi for some fun first, and then realized...I can't put new turbos on stock manifold...and, well you all know how it goes from there. So here is what is getting done...

    All new suspension bits...
    Boots
    Control arms
    Ball joints
    etc.

    All fluid, but I pretty much do that every spring...

    All transmission and transfer case seals...

    Apexi PFC
    Garrett GT2860R-5's
    XS Power Manifolds
    XS Power Dumps
    Top Speed Front Pipe
    RC 750cc Injectors
    Walbro 255lph
    N1 Water pump
    N1 Oil pump
    Oil cooler
    Godspeed radiator
    Greddy timing belt
    Splitfire coils
    Hawk plus pads
    Solid subframe bushings

    Just thought I would share...

    How do you like the XS Power Manifolds and Dumps ? Do you have the manifolds WITH or WITHOUT the Heatshield Mounts ?

    Do you have any FITMENT PICS / Engine Bay Pics of Turbos/Manifolds you could share ?

    I'm sick of doing it. I've been doing it for years and I just can't devote the time anymore...

    Pics when it's done though...not that you will be able to see much difference...

    Ok, got it, pics of the dyno sheet after...:-)

    Oh, if anything doesn't fit right, I'm sure I'll hear about it.

    Ok, I'm gonna have to make it to the mechanics to snap some pics aren't I?

    I can say, I know the manifold didn't fit exactly and I may have to "dink" a primary, the weld's are not great, probably not even good, but the cost difference was too great to consider IMO.

    I do like the setup, and I can't complain for what I paid for it all.

    I didn't mean that it's not possible, just that I "couldn't". Go buy some cheapy manifolds, they'll be better than stockers.

    I can't wait till you put the motor back into the car. I am interested in hearing about the overall 'FIT' and the 'GEOMETRY' of the XS setup and how it bolts up to your existing cat-back.......

    If all works out for you, then I am ordering a set ASAP and will just have the welds strengthened as well as the Dumps.

    Did you compare the OEM dumps to the XS ones ? did everything seem alright ? What about block clearances using the XS manifolds ?

    Share...share....lol

    Thanks.
    Allan
