Timucin,

I always wondered how you spelt it!

That is a nice shopping package MTM inlet and Carillo rods.

Did the collection of maritime knots come with it?

You will be busy this weekend I feel.

That does look coool

Can you take some close up pictures? Are all the holes tapped, no rough edges etc?

Doug,

MartinJS was having a chat with someone about casting some inlet manifolds.

I don't know how far he got.

It was lee who was looking into doing it, dunno how far he's got with it.

[Doug_RS2]

I know about Lees stuff - I was just interested in the qulality of the MTM one compared to the Wagner one.

hi;
i have packed the old items 10 days ago and send them to rex, i dont exactly remember the oem intake.

about mtm: it has all accesory/detail - in/outlets on it,it also came with extended throttle cable.

about finishing: well its a bit raw then i expected, i will do some polishing on the ports will post the pics while and after
here are some detail photos

[timucin]

sorry forgot to attach pic,here:

one more

i think the main advantage is to keep the hose coming from intercooler away from turbo,heat.

as i told you i am not sure about the oem but size does not have very big difference, volume

[timucin]

i was planning to build my own intake from sheet aluminum,which has no internal casting 'gizmos' to polish, then i couldnt courage but know i advice you to build yours, do it with using runners from oem manifold.cause i will spent same time with this to port-polish runners..

[timucin]

these marked areas are not looking good, no structural failure , a bit more time could be spent in mtm to make it look better.. but np i will do that detailing here, cause i have 3 weeks to receive pistons......

Doug;

and here is con-rod:
