What exhaust manifold are you using for the turbo? Custom? Glad you got the noise taken care of!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
So we'll nv'r know, but must have been one of thoseNot sure what fixed it as I replaced the plugs, exhaust gaskets, turbo flange gasket, and cut a thicker .012" TB gasket but the noise is completely gone. My money would be on a warped TB flange.
Congrats for finding the culprit - hopefully you will be on the road soon??

This fits the car nicely and gets the turbo over close to the head. #1 spark plug access isn't very good though. It's easy to get the plug out but it takes a bit of finesse to get the new one in. The downpipe is a little more tricky than one 90* bend as well but it's all good the way it is. The wastegate setup is probably the most efficient way to do it and the dump fits nicely between the bottom of the header and the upper control arm. I think someone on this board made this stuff a long time ago and then sold it to a friend who sold it to another friend who sold it to me.
Can you 122 guys not get away with a 90+?
Sure! but then the intake needs work, a matter of choise.I'm not sure. I had two different top-mount headers so I never bothered to test one. I think you could with the engine mounted vertically.
