Wonderful to know I'll be able to keep my A/C. Where I live it gets 115+, and I'm not about to delete A/C in my daily in favor of a turbo, lol.

Thank you for the kind words, i expect the FM and Begi to have very similar runners, possibly even the same, haven't held one so cant say

I love it. It's 102 and I'm spending my day outside, but when I'm tired at the one of the day at work, I don't want to roast in my car lol. I absolutely hate the cold, below 70 is insufferable lol.

Sorry for getting off topic. Lol.

Not going to just dump the images in here from my build thread but I recently got my Kraken T2 manifold. I had them drill it for my TSE M10x1.5 hardware and of course T2 footprint for my SR20 turbo, zero issues. The manifold is beefy. It came in right around 12lbs on my bathroom scale. All my OEM hardware fit (runners 2 and 3 nuts need to fit while the manifold is still loose). You should probably order a downpipe directly from them. I took the chance that my ARTech downpipe would fit and was mistaken. The quality of the piece is fantastic and in a few months I should have it track tested (HPDE atleast). For the money, this is really great value.
Shipping will take some time since they are out of the UK but communication has been top notch and feedback/concerns have been addressed right away. I would not hesitate to do business with them again.

I might have missed it; but the name "Kraken" for a cast manifold may not be the best advertisement

They really do look nice, however.

Have pm'd you for 1-3 units.

Didn't realise you were in the UK. I can supply a UK ship if necessary but likely shipping to NZ is pretty easy from there anyway....whatever best suits (and is available).

Those oil fittings are cool. Is there a drain fitting in that picture?
