I want one! But I am just getting my car on the 10th of Jan and won't have the cash for this manifold until probably Feb. Any chance there will be another run? BTW, it will be for a 1992 E34 535i 5-speed.

Just wanted to give everyone an update.
Still waiting for release of the manifolds. They have cleared customs but they have not released them yet.
It's taking a little longer with emailing China and getting a response in a timely matter. Should have release docs finalized Monday and having them delivered to my home.

SO MUCH WIN! I may have to take out a loan now to finish my turbo build so it is up standard with this manifold.

Just got back from FedEx, I have updated the list with manifolds that have shipped today.
For those being shipped out of the country I will be using USPS. And will update once I can get them to the post office.
Thanks everyone..!!

No mock up yet - probably won't get there for a bit myself. Need to get the cooling system straightened out, then the megasquirt conversion done.

Until then, starting to plan out parts. Going to go with a gt3582r 1.06. Seems like a good option for ~400hp.

Can someone confirm what set of options for this turbo would be appropriate for this manifold? For example, looking on atpturbo.com:

http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mv ... RT-TBO-006

Options:
1) Turbine Housing A/R: 1.06
2) Please Specify Turbine Housing Style: Undivided T4 flanged turbine inlet with 3" V-band

Thoughts? Other options? "3" V-Band ADD-ON for GT 4 Bolt 3" Selection"? Is this for the compressor/intake side?

Other vendors for this turbo? Want to buy new.

Thanks!

It has come to my attention that the Precision Turbo 6262 (or similar) is worth considering as well. They seem to be a bit easier to come by and rebuild.

Can't find any specs yet to do a decent comparison of this vs the gt3582r.

Anyone running a Precision Turbo or can speak to them?

I went with a comp 61mm from TCD. For the price I couldn't beat it and it should meet my goals of about 400whp.

Mine will be running here in the next couple of days as well! I'll post a pic once it's done. Shooting for ~500whp once my engine is broken in..... We shall see how it goes

Hey tcturbo, where did you route your wastegate exhaust? Recirc or open? I wanted mine open, but couldn't find a location for the exhaust out of it (frame rail way too close to go next to engine)..... So i ended up pointing the wastegate toward the fender well and ran my exhaust through there down next to my strut and front wheel haha :shock:
