It's a 2000* ceramic coating. Was done by a place local to Sheepey.

Ya the manifold is really nice. I'm not concerned about those welds to much. Maybe I'll have it ported before final install. But I am heavily considering recirculating the wastegate, it looks like it can be done pretty easily.

Also last night I got some work done, got the passenger mount back in, that took quite a while... Also put the manifold and turbo in place to check for fitment:

The downpipe fits too and I would have had a picture of that, but my phone died.

Did some ghetto rigging today ;) looks like I can pretty easily get this recirculated and have a flex pipe, just not sure if a vband flange and clamp will also fit, here are some pictures of my awesome jig:

O yea that'd be nice man.

I just recently pulled a revhard turbo kit off a ep3 I'm tucking and the shop that did his work recirculated his wg too with that same flex pc u have there, and it looks sick suck u won't be able to hear the gate scream no mo and also it'll leak if the clamps ain't appropriately tightened. His had been leaking creating boost issues.

I'm kinda interested in not hearing the open dump, it's cool and all but it's so fucking loud I don't like the attention it brings. What clamp wasn't tight enough? I mean even if it wasnt recirculated a not fully tightened clamp could cause issues as well.

Alright well tonight I mounted up the manifold, turbo, downpipe, wastegate on the motor so I could mark things up to get this recirculated, and I was actually able to remove the whole assembly without disconnecting anything, so I'm just going to take it to the shop like that:

I think this will work out nicely. Hopefully turn around time is minimal and I can have it back on Tuesday at some point. Tomorrow I'm going to, if I have time, install the stock cmc and get those lines bled. Once that is done I just need to wait to get all parts back and get everything back together.

Stock cmc in and pedal adjusted :pray: it works as I'm hoping. It certainly feels sooo much softer than the omni. I was actually kinda surprised how easy it is to press all the way down with my hand, the omni was like a ******* arm workout just to press it in. Now I just need to make the final decision on getting my valve cover resprayed and wait for the fabrication of my dumptube to be done, hopefully that'll be no more than 2 days. :waiting:

I think that recirculation will be sick. It looks great with that flex pipe.

Ya I'm pretty excited, the car will sound sooo clean. After hearing this video of Vit's stock motor Si, I was convinced (start at 1:10 for the good stuff):

Sounds good.

Sucks to hear what happened to his motor.

The motor that blew was from his black si, the car in the video I posted is his daily driver - the blue si.
