my problem is i set a target ie 400hp and then move the goalposts suconciously up. before i know it i want 550hp. do others not get these addiction type urges? they are costly.

Sounds like most people, at first I was tempted by around 350-400 but since hearing some of the other results people have got this has gone up, luckily i'm still slightly inside the confines of what a rs2 manifold will do.

Plus finding/having a decent downpipe made up is a pain.

why not tubular?

is there a reason other than the cracking which can be minimised if you A buy a decent tubular and B support the turbo.

My reason for not going with a tubular is that I want to be able to MOT my car in the future.
The Swedish MOT is not to keen on tubular manis, or anything not looking stock tbh.

I put the RS2 turbo on the STR, because I knew some day I would be upgrading to the GT3071R. I just needed a cheap and easy way to flow more than the S2 EM could do to bring at least potential to the RS2 turbo

However since I was again upgrading to the Garret GT3071R a bit sooner than I had foreseen, I replaced the STR EM with a Wagner Evo EM to be future proof and 100% sure it would flow enough for the new turbo.

On the picture you see where you have to grind away some material from the STR EM that I did 1 year ago.

Ahh, I see.. so you newer had the Garret on there with the STR.
I wonder where the STR EM will hit the roof in flow and power.

Doesn't seem too bad of a grind job
Funny enough, urquattroisland and the Norwegian never mentioned any grinding

[GazzaG60]

point taken. i presumed you needed a new downpipe with the wagner or other. i prefer cast for its durability and OEM look.

i must say i likle the wagner cast a lot. suppose oyu need ot set your stall out and stick to a certain route to ensure its not costing a load each time.

my problem is i set a target ie 400hp and then move the goalposts suconciously up. before i know it i want 550hp. do others not get these addiction type urges? they are costly.

Given a cast option I'd take it. With Wagner doing an uprated SQ manifold in the future it's looking good for cast manifolds.

Tubulars have their place especially in more exotic machines like yours Gazza and the MRC600 machine

[Rusty]

Because tubular requires a modified or new down pipe, remove the airbox and either buy or fabricate a support. Sure a tubular would offer more power but it's not a simple bolt in job unlike the RS2, Wagner or STR fannymolds.

Bram's still runing the airbox on his with 3071.

So what you are saying is that it's not flowing enough for the GT3071R but will do well with the RS2 spec turbo and power?
Nice to hear someone tested it on here aswell.

mentioned works fine for me, but i am probably not running more than 330-350.

are you using this very cheap ex-manifold working perfectly??

if its plug-play with turbo,exhaust,wastegate.... its a good option for think in it because surelly 350hp are very enough for a lot of people like me here
