Is the oil return going to be tapped on the pan or girdle?
I have done both and would recommend girdle. I noticed that oil was not returning fast enough when return to oil pan. Factory turbocharged cars I've seen also return to girdle. I tapped the girdle and used 1/2" NPT to 10AN adapter with 10AN oil return line. You can also use 1/2" NPT to 5/8" hose barb adapter. Got all my fittings from jegs.com

Oil pan is the location of the kits oil return. I have not had problems w/ going to the pan, and its the most feasible. especially if we are going to do an exchange program.


here are a couple pics of a manifold being currently constructed:

Wow. Those welds are STRAIGHT SEX! You got a good welder there!

PS - You tune Subaru's? Just picked up a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT (STi powerplant), and is a "Stage 2". Perrin up pipe, Cobb downpipe, no cats, Perrin CAI, ECU reflash. It only put down like 250/250 on 17psi. I think there is more to be had.

Sweet!

It may be a month or so, I am currently saving for a Cobb AccessPort. Might have to fly you up to NYC for some tuning / fun.

Those welds look mechanical! No contamination to the visible eye. Assuming it is properly back-purged?

^^^You may be able to save some cash by having him tune using open source. I'm not sure if he does that but it would save you the $700 for a new AP.

I love the pictures. Let's see some more!

Yeah, but the AP has options I want... Like the Valet and Anti-theft maps...

Meh, not too much more can be had with the stock LGT turbo. Unless it's torque you want, then you can do injectors and an E85 tune..

Get a used sti turbo and give it another try, maybe some injectors, sti top mount IC, then tune it up.
