Yes, sorry. The bare manifold comes with a manifold and an EGR plug, nothing else. If you buy the full $3099 kit, the studs are included.

Just ordered the control and fuel portion for step one on my new project.

"Just ask Andrew and do what he says". Seems to be good advice. Stupid me, spent a week in Carmel and didn't think to stop by his shop while out on the left coast.

Interested when the complete S1 intercooler kit portion will be finalized?

For all those that have installed this manifold and 6758, better off installing turbo when motor in car or on stand. I love to be able to stab it assembled. If so, down pipe on ?

Thx

IMO. Turbo and manifold on, downpipe off. Downpipe just gets in the way.

How comphy are you with this drain line setup?
Other than that it all lined up good.

Not very comfy. I'd clock the housing so the drain is slightly more vertical. Will help take the extra curve out.

Shorten the hose by 20%.
For flow, ideally you want the hose to have as few bends as possible.
For a drain, you want the hose to be descending all the way to the drain point (so aim for a single curve to the oil pan bung).
You'll also need to include enough to cater for tension relief between the vibrating engine/turbo.

Put a 45 degree fitting in the pan. That + the vertical clocking will take many inches out of the line and not have that long horizontal on the bottom.

I'd do all three. Clock it a little bit for straight down exit. Shorten the hose. Put a 45 on it.

Edit: which is in fact what I did to mine.

No. Bad. 7 years of bad luck on you. On an EFR, CHRA clocking is dictated by wastegate functionality and nothing else.

Mike, have a hydraulic shop shorten the hose if you want to use the MSM drain location.

Oh true I forgot about that. Make sure the wastegate is correct then, and if so shorten hose. But it almost looks like the wastegate bracket could move to the next set of holes.

Listen to Andrew. It's his kit.

I found this out the hard way.

When using an EFR turbo, you build around the wastegate actuator.

You might be right about next set of holes.. I'll have to see. Even with the hose shortened 5" IF I could clock it a few more degrees would give it a straighter shot, and adding a 45* is a no brainier.

Also no. Assuming the setup instructions were followed, it's as vertical as it's going to get. If you reclock the CHRA, none of the water lines will fit properly.

This is a non-issue if you just use the standard non-MSM drain location. The hose is designed for the non-MSM standard location. If you want to use the MSM location, just have the hose shortened. It's not designed to be used as-is in the way you're attempting to use it.

Again, don't **** with the CHRA clocking. Set it up per the instructions.

Will do. I'm getting hose made today 4.5" shorter. Thanks!

THIS will flow. Few adapters needed.

Finally.

Precision 350HP bolt-in, plug and play for NA/NB, AC compatible. I think I've been through 4 or 5 unique prototypes, first for core testing (functionality), then to tweak location/fitment, then to tweak again for ease of production (read: making it cheaper). MSRP in the ~$400 ballpark. Pre-orders for May delivery will be on the site next week.

This is the base for what will become the standard intercooler package for our EFR kits (this IC + IC pipes).
