I have the same manifold as you. Alain has agreed to modify it for me so the T25 will fit. What I want to know is.....

Can you have another downpipe made just like yours? If so, I will send you $200 and any shipping charges on the downpipe. It looks great. Unfortunely I have a bunch of monkeys where I live that don't know what they're doing. The ones that do know want to charge me $500!!!! Also, where did you pick up that 5psi wastegate actuator? I want one! Let me know where and how much.

Ok I checked with the guys that did mine and they won't do it again,(cops gave em a hard time about doing the job seeing as it is COMPLETLY illegle to change any exhaust parts with other than OEM in Idaho) I will check with another guy tommorrow. I think he will do it and for less.

Ahhh yes the acctuator....everyone wants to know about that....it is SOOOOOOO simple!
You can
A) pay hahn racecraft like $90 dollars for one or.......
B) cut your actuator in half....thread both ends....and buy a WIDE nut (like an inch to inch and a half long) and put it inbetween the two threadded sides of the actuator emoji

The object is to make the actuator LONGER, this way the wastegate opens sooner. About 1/4 inch did it for me, but they are all different due to wear and such....

Total cost if you have a tap and die set is about .65 cents, if you take it to a machine shop about $2.65.

Sounds good. I'll try the wastegate mod. Hopefully those other guys will come through on the downpipe. I'm having Alain modify my manifold to match yours so I can get that downpipe. Let me know.
