Question about exhaust manifolds

[S2central.net]

ANother question - related to this - the S2 and RS2 EM has a bung for CO reading - bit of a hangover from 3B days when that was actually called out as a maintenance operation. Most folk running an EGT sensor use that location as its conveniently close to turbo exit.

But - does the Wagner EM have this bung as per stock fitment ?

Hold on - thinking more as I type here - maybe that bung is actually on turbo hotside housing and not the EM. Old age is a terrible thing. Need a photograph to remind me...

I put my coupe back to stock and hated it for about a day then loved it again... Strange. So much prouder of it stock and shiny but I know my love lies in driving something über.

Hopefully got a matching Recaro Speed on the way to me. Will strip it all down then and try it like that for a bit. Felt sound deadening needs replacing if nothing else, might remove some of the tar stuff for that club sport effect

Sorry, a tad off topic

[Rusty]

Fairly sure bung is on DP.

Can't imagine that tarry stuff comes off easily. Would add a lot to the noise factor... There is something strangely appealing about a roll cage, two bucket seats, harnesses, stripped interior, raised flooring to compensate for loss of underfelt (the flood can hide under there too - LOL). Mid life crisis must be kicking in properly now - I even have a colour scheme in mind. Somebody stop me !!!!! I'll spend 15k on the frickin' thing then bin it into the armco at Knockhill (or wherever).

The old S2 is well behaved on track. Mine's a little wayward with the 25mm rear bar, it's great on the road. Cage will be nice...

Colour scheme eh?

[S2central.net]

Well the base colour is obvious - all the bestest fastest cars are this colour underneath...

keep walking past mine without interior thinking that was more what the doctor ordered. Not quite sure at the moment i can bring myself to refit the (still wet and miserable) carpet and underfelt, think i need a while with it on song without issues to enjoy part stripped too! De-cats to go on and she should breath better and sound a little deeper. K24 to the max

The K26 Wagner is the same the T3 Wagner has 5mm more space for the compressor housing of large turbos such as the GT30r

[Bram]

Great, that is good news! More space for my CT then

the bung for egt is located on the downpipe it self

OK - yep I looked at the weekend... Cheers

Yeah as above, the Wagner EM is the same as RS2 except it mounts the turbo 5mm further in to eliminate the problems of GT30 etc. hitting the chassis leg.

Supersprint DP for S2 and RS2 is the same part# therefore I'd say turbo is in same location on stock EMs, Wagner is only 5mm out, so we can ignore the difference and call the three the same I'd say.

I assume you are thinking of 2x threaded inserts just behind the turbo?

Coupe and avant DP are the same, correct?

I've bought an RS2 downpipe but there is nothing in the hole for the egt. What's normally used to seal it? Is it just a bolt with a washer? Does anyone know the thread size?

Thanks

Its M12 x 1.5

factory bits are plug = N016 153 3 and seal = N013 818 2
