Just buy the right thread size/AN fitting size from Vibrant and be done with it. I bought mine on Amazon and used the 1/16 restrictor size. Example; Vibrant Performance oil restrictor. Or... just drill out a normal fitting to .060"

Is that vibrant performance the right part for the mkturbo?

When will MK2Turbo open with k swap kits
|
How tough would it be to modify a NA setup to fit a NB1?

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...5df321fc8d.jpg This is a Garrett TB2568 T3 turbo. Would this fit the mk setup? And would it be better worse or the same from an eBay turbo. Looks a little smaller. Might spool better? Idk. Is anyone having these turbos? |

I thought MKTurbo uses VBand turbos? i mean there are adapters but not quite sure of the fitment after that

260 hp 240 tq @8psi. I'm happy and a little confused. Happy it's making that much power but confused because I don't think I've ever seen someone run that much power on 8 psi. Is his Dyno reading high? Is the Mkturbo just that amazing? Everything else is stock engine wise. P.S Tuner said once he let the car cool down it made 270HP. If all the numbers are correct, should I be worried for my rods? Have a 6 speed on it |

I will hopefully be meeting with the pattern maker, foundry, and machine shop next week to talk more about my manifold and see if I can get pricing quotes locked in. Once I write the check to get the pattern made it is 8-12 weeks before I have the first 2 cast manifolds in hand to start trying out.

Do you guys use RTV or any sort of gasket between the turbo manifold and the engine? I think I have a leak there, and I used red RTV when I first installed.

I only put a new OEM exhaust gasket there. It hasn't leaked yet!

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...7e467f437.jpeg OEM gasket + copper adhesive is all I ever do. Heck just an OEM gasket is likely enough but I use the copper spray out of habit. Scrape all that stuff off and clean it real good. Then just slap an OEM gasket on there and you'll be all good. |

I apologize if you provided a follow up after this post but my old man eyes cannot find it - any updates? Ever since you shared the mock up I've been...

Awesome, thanks everyone. I just ordered a Felpro exhaust manifold gasket and will be using that! It looks like it’s a MLS gasket, I’m assuming that’s close enough to OEM and will do the trick.

What's the turn around time on orders these days?

Stupid question Friday edition. Where in the oil lines does the oil restrictor go? I've tried searching through here, but I can't seem to find an answer. Sorry and thanks in advance! :o
Edit: Found it on post #1325 - sounds like it's supposed to fit into the top of the turbo. |
