you have to get a wastgate elbow to fit a tial 38mm because the opening is close to the motor too. but it spools fast, and i doubt it is going to break anytime soon.

I know someone with one, he never had any problems with it..

trim the dip stick
and you need a elbow for vtec heads (or plane the gate mating surface to angle it foward)
non vtec heads fitment is fine

I have a friend with one. It seems to work just fine

why would one have to use a 5 bolt?

with a 4 bolt, the turbo will not clear the block (even with shaving).

What kind of turbo did u run.Bkuzz Im running a sc61 60 trim and im worried that i might get to much turbo lag.

I'm about to use one. Does anybody know the size of bolts for the wastegate and the manifold to turbo size.
I know the rev hard bolt size doesn't fit.
Anybody?

Thanks in advance

just take the manifold to homedepot or lowes and search their bolts for ones that fit. Thats what i did for my set up atleast w/no problems

m8x20 for a tial wastgate. 3/8 for the turbo, length depends on what turbo you use.

where can i get the elbow from? wastegate neck, what ever you want to call it.
Any clue?

inthad

it still wouldn't clear the hood even when the wastegate is on on MBC?

Not true, mine was with a standard garrett 57 trim t3/t4oe 4 bolt

jimmyizcool

dame surprise the waste gate fit

inthad

so with the pictures, you can close your hood with that WG being there?

From my reading it seems that LS blocks can have the wastegate straight off the manifold and any vtec heads need an elbow.

Make sure to go with a 5-bolt turbo housing!!

inthad

i guess thats not going to fit on a regular b16a2 motor, huh?

Yes LS motor no need for the elbow, but with a b16 head i had notch/sandd own the head /valvecover to get it to fit well, and the hood closed no probelm for me (99 hatch)
*****and you dont need a 5 bolt housing, standard garrett 4 bolt housing fit as well*****

inthad

well, that sucks
that means a elbow for me

i think he means if you're keeping a/c it won't clear because the turbo sits the other way..compressor will hit the block

i have one and i freakin LOVE IT!! ive had friends with cracked RH mani's and they put the meutek on and it did spool earlier and pull better. one of them made abou 450whp with one using a 30R. i just trimmed the dip stick area a little bit.
