I've heard about them going from a "log style (?)" manifold to en equal lenght tube header kind of manifold. Is that the rumor you are refering to?

well yeah, ive heard of them changing both the manifold and the intercooler. Supposedly the FMIC is a hell of a lot bigger and the manifold will be equal length runners. Im definitely going with this kit at the beggining of next year and I would rather have the new stuff. Has anyone else heard any of this?

If you call Wyatt you should already be able to buy the kit. From what I understand from Wyatt the kit is totally different. It will contain a larger core FMIC, tubular manifold, Tial wastegate, Tial bov, Garrett Ballistic Concepts ball bearing turbo, which by the way is state-of -the-art!

i've been thinking and ive got a few ?'s
Whats the specs on the turbo? What options does it have? What is the price? Where in the hell are the endtanks, and the inlet and outlets on the IC? Also what is the manifold made out of? If its SS it will crack.....I hope that its going to be ceramic coated inside and out.

I've heard these rumors for years from both Wyatt and Shaun. Still waiting to see results..

well I just got this letter from Wyatt, enjoy!

Yes,
We have made another Turbo system, redesigned is and understatement though. We have not released any information simply because we have not done enough testing and finalizing the actual 'look' and options of the turbo systems.
Quick changes are
1. Optional 3.5" deep intercooler 8" hieght
2. Individual runner cast iron manifold, heat treated to keep 75% of the heat inside the manifold.
3. Optional Cold air intake for either Stage I or Stage II Turbo
Systems
4. Boost dependant Fuel Controller (not High fuel pressure)
5. Optional Ignition control (for later stages)
6. Full Downpipe to cat WITH flex section 2.5"
7. Turbo XS BOV Type H (Stage I or II, BOV upgrade optional)
8. Tial 38mm Wastegate
9. T3/T4 Garrett Ballistics Turbo
10. Fog lights will now fit for GS models
22. Re-plumbed IC piping uses 7 Bends instead of 11 from old design.

The major differences are with the heat treated manifold and the flow characteristics we achieved with the new manifold.
Also, being able to adjust fuel control by boost is a major step in the right direction, as apposed to people running high fuel pressure and burning up their motor because the injectors don't respond. The new ballistics Turbo we are using is still under testing but so far responds great with no lag.
