    STD downpipe is fine as it can be twisted but the bms I fitted along with a t25 fouled on the driveshaft.

    the big jim might be at a slightly different angle but might fail, any ktec etc enlarged downpipe using the standard turbo elbow allowing it to swing will be fine

    you can get a v band from ebay at £30 or so and then welded up sorting any issue out.. if you know someone that can your downpipe to spec your winning..

    No heat soak yet but we should be using heatshields. Check the manifolds flange to the turbo, It may need flatted off before fitting or you may get a blow before the turbo losing power.

    I had the same problem with the gaytec Mk1 type it was literally against the starter and even with shield made no difference took it off not long after putting it on

    Re: Tubular Manifolds

    Just thought id mention, with no heatshield and tubular fitted, i didnt have one starter problem after a 120mile trip to mallory, 30-40miles on track and 120 back. I would advise taking your starter off when fitting (to make fitting easier too) but also spraying wd40 inside, plenty of it. inside the motor and the solenoid. I did prior to doing this suffer with hot start sticking solenoid on my standard manifold.

    i will need a to mod and use the standard downpipe/exhaust bracket to the engine again, or it could shake free sending the flange into that driveshaft

    how exactly do these v bands work, any pics.. i presume u chop the 2.5 boris downpipe, weld these flanges in , then use the clamp to tighten, does this allow you to alter the angle of the eghaust slightly ? any pics ?

    If they'll post to the UK for £130 delivered that's as good as you'll get at that's the same price we we're selling them to members. Basically, slightly above our cost price.

    Mine improved without any doubt, reved much much more easily, It did change the sound too which i like but some may not, i wish i had some practical figures but unfortunately i dont. You wont be disapointed IMO but i also wouldnt say its worth spending £hundereds£ on.

    It was a while ago, but I think I used 2 rolls of the heatwrap cgb sell.

    always good to have extra though so you can wrap your downpipe or exhaust as well.

    tip: wear gloves of some sort when wrapping as it gets rather itchy

    i wouldn't.. people have killed standard manifolds wrapping them, im pretty sure it would be easier to warp and crack one of these if the heat can't escape..

    Although Pascal had an issue with his welds, stainless is alot better at heat cycling and therefore should handle the wrap just fine.

    Keeping the heat, and therefore energy, in is a good thing for performance.
