You can buy an adapter From a 4-bolt to vband though.

Vit's turbo manifold is similar to that, just isn't v-band, but the wastegate placement is almost identical. He can use a 3 psi wastegate spring and boost creep at all, all the way to redline, with a turbo larger than a 15'' mac book.

Got a picture of Vits turbo manifold? Ive never seen his car/motor. Id absolutly LOVE to have 0 creep.


i never saw a 4 bolt to vband before. Youde have to bolt that to the exaust housing of your turbo, which would drop the turbo even lower. I dont know why jdl just doesnt make a 4 bolt instead of the vband

That flange looks quite slim so it would only drop it by what looks like less then half an inch. But I'm sure it's made to a vband to be able to adjust the turbo at whatever angle you see fit to allow it to work on numerous setups.

wonder if these are for sale.

That's his! And I highly doubt you could get one.... You do have to get rid of the evap to fit his manifold.

mines in an integra chassis, i got tons of room everywheres. Its perfect design, i bet theres zero boost creep
