So are you saying that All stock US ecu,s are mapped for egr and not just the california models ( as stated earlier in this thread ) ? Does anyone know for sure of any differences between Uk spec Us spec JDM spec ecu,s

Jetlock: Further apologies for quoting the wrong gas and direction of gas travel which yourself and Jimi are right about ,I had a moment where the knowledge didnt reach the keyboard and thanks for correcting me on it .....in fact its been a shitty day all round but thats another story . I...

Your better off getting rid of the egr as it does very little on the mk3 to prevent detonation, due to the fact that it only recirculates exhaust gas from the number 6 cylinder ......its a token gesture add on to keep the tree huggers happy . With a properly designed and effective egr system...

Yep i agree with what your saying Adam , however my goal is 400rwhp which has been proven possible with that type of manifold and after having driving it for a few hundred miles i,m glad to say i,ve got no concerns with it.:icon_bigg Que comments of ( once you,ve got 400 you,ll want 500 lol...

Alternatively you could use the K&N oil filters which have have a hex on the base of the filter which makes removal very easy.

Reign : Thanks Rich : Thanks for the welcome Brent/adam : your right theres no way to isolate the pulses afaik with this type of manifold .....it uses the same flow principles as the stock one , although imo there must be some benefit of having the runners so short ie : faster spool time...

After the usual stud carnage when removing the exhaust manifold i removed the remaining studs and had them all helicoiled .....figured the stainless bolts look tidier .

Chris : Thanks for the additional info , i remember you writing a bit about the manifold and turbo background in my build thread but didn,t realise you had such a close link with the setup as you obviously do . Power trip/ MCD , whoever made it did indeed ceramic coat it and went to great...

That will do for me .....thanks for the replies :icon_bigg

Thanks that makes sense , and probably why i,ve not seen another .... excuse my ignorance but what are weld els ? The turbo on it is a garrett to4e with all the usual fuel upgrades etc , Any ballpark ideas what power levels will be achieveable with this setup ?

Imported from the US although i,ve not seen one like it before . just wondering if this is a commercially made manifold or a one off custom jobbie ......

90 percent of all the 7m cam journals i,ve seen look like that ....you can clean it off yourself with a piece of grey scotchbrite in minutes . Its nothing to worry about . The main area of concern is the condition of the cam journals in the cylinder head/caps which will invariably have...

On that type of tie rod the rubber bush will become perished and split and its usually only necessary to replace the bushes . On the ball and cup type you need to check for excessive free movement , in the same way as the lower ball joints . A knocking sound when going over uneven ground...

The price of those pistons would scare me into NOT buying them .....as Bishop 92t said : go for stock oem items if 300 is your goal .

Yes there the same .
