Good luck on that endeavor.
Do you think that concentrating on a few projects and getting them done would be a better idea than taking on many projects? Just a thought. Still waiting on that 55 turbo project from a long time ago.

Many times projects get stalled due to the fabrication of a particular part taking extra time. As an example, GT4088 exhaust flange is not made by anyone. I had to have machine shop create one from CAD drawing. It took two weeks to make it happen. Meanwhile, I worked on other projects.
I do appreaciate your concern, we are on schedule with them. As allways I will post updates.
As far as E55 TT project - client who wanted to do it backed out. If anyone else is interested I would be glad to persue it.

new balance
Vadim,
Curious as to how much boost you have seen on this 65 with the stock turbos after your IC and intake mods. Thanks. And any new info you have for me on the 600 would be nice, I have some info to share also

Stock manifold incorporates exhaust housing.
Short of casting a brand new manifold, there is no way to make a new one.
BTW Brabus does make a brand new cast piece - $30K.
I will post pictures as we take it apart.

Turbo cars dont have headers, they have exhaust manifolds. IN this case the exhaust manifold is incorporated in the turbo. That is a **** poor design on the stock manifold by the way. I'm guessing they did that because of size constraints. Optimal exhaust manifold would be equal length.

Either way there is some more power to be had by changing the compressor and exhaust wheels and possibly extrude-honing the exhaust manifold imho. At higher rpm's I bet those turbo's have way to much drive pressure.

They are also there for longevity, log type cast manifolds are very reliable. Tubular exhaust manifolds offer better performance but are also prone to cracking.

Is there any room for oversized valves in these heads?

That would be awesome if we could take the turbos out without engine removal. That would be great.

This car is going to break some records.. I can feel it...
The main issue is going to be how to make it driveable... Brabus had some issues with 1,000lb/ft.. I guess we need to find a way to disable ESP altogether.. lol..
