Crazy good work getting all of that modeled and fitting so well. I'll be interested to see how the "EGR" works out.

Another update.
Got the EGT in, welded on, and checked on the mockup engine.
Boy is it getting tight in there.


And while I had it, figured I'd compare the divorced turbo elbow to the OEM with a very non-scientific test.
Took my airgun and shoved it in the EGR port on the header, Taped it full open, and watched the impeller while manually opening/closing the wastegate.
Hard to really tell, but it seems to me that the Divorced (second clip) has a lot more change in wheel speed when the wastegate opens as compared to the OEM.
Edit: wow failed splice on that vid
OE Elbow
Divorced Elbow

then Sunday local Autox had our first points event.
Was a fun course, with a pretty big offset right in the middle (jump), the transition to cement and back is a doozy, cement has a ton of grip, sealed asphault does not.
I ended up 2nd raw behind a crazy person in a model 3 performance on all the suspension, and 7th pax.

Not sure if I've run in that lot before, but it looks like a pretty good one.

What's your timeframe for getting the new manifold installed and tested?

It's the FairPark lot, lots of undulations, including a "bowl" drain section.

and for timeline, been talking with my Vegas friend, and it's looking like mid May is the earliest our schedules align, so, sadly waiting a while before actually getting it on, and getting real data. (though I'm super excited for it)

Ice Cube would be proud of you hitting the three wheel motion like that. Cool that they worked that kicker into the course!
