I am a welder/fabricator so it's no big deal to cut a hole and make a fitting.

 

it probably is too short but you can easily make a longer test pipe like on my car

 

I recieved my TSI kit today. Its pretty nice. Its pretty much a semi hacker kit. You need to beef up the fuel system somemore and get a BOV. Im putting in a Walbro 255 intake pump. I just need to find out which one to put in 2G eclipse or EVO. Im hoping that this will be all i need for the fuel system. I purchased an intercooler for it also. Im looking at running 6psi intercooled The manfold is pretty nice and high flowing. Its a light rough inside it but. Im ceramic coating the manifold and exhaust piping. Most likely ill be putting it on next weekend at my shop.

 

your going to want an eclipse walbro 255.

 

Why get a walbro 255? It's overkill for your needs. Get a 2g DSM FP for 40-60 bucks. Hell, walbro 255 is still overkill to mild mod DSMs using 14b or T25 not shooting toward HP figures of a small 16G..

 

dont forget to take pics in through the turbo flange. i kinda wanna see how the runners go into the collector. thanks!

 

Its pretty much the same as the EVO's stock manifold. Four shorty pipes going into the collector. Its more of a casting than built turbo header. But it flows pretty good. I'll try to get some pics if i can get ahold of the camera at the shop.

 

i also have this kit, there is no place for the 1st O2 sensor, so a bung is gonna need to be welded either on the down pipe or manifold

 

are there any dyno numbers out there for this kit? i wanna c how well this kit performs. thx

 

any pics of inside the manifold yet?

i think there was a thread where they had the tsi vs rrm nonIC and the tsi sped off the line and the rrm pulled up top. big difference in turbos. if that's any comparison.

 

I have some pics... but my camera and my comp aren't getting along. The inside of the manifold is hard to get pics of, but I can try... It is a rough cast manifold and there is really nothing special about it other than the t25 attatched to it . I was thinking about porting it to atleast smooth out the casting.

 

would u be able to link that thread? i tried searching

 

k, i was a little wrong. IC'd tsi at 7psi vs *i think* boost leaking rrm stage 2 dynoed at 170whp.

There was a thread a while back that raced the RRM non-IC versus TSI non-IC. The TSI kit won off the line because it spools quicker (T-25 vs. Big T-28), but the RRM kit caught up quickly and won the race.

 

Well, here are a couple of pics of the Manifold and T-25.
