Stoked to follow suit with my wagon!! Looks and sounds amazing

[@pizzamagee6220]

I'm a vader solutions customer myself he did a full build for me with more upgrades to come I've been very happy with all the products, install and service I've received.

[@blrn54]

Awesome job. The stock manifolds can make alot of power.

[@tronn_carter]

Awesome job man!! Props for this DIY.

[@Barlos_]

Its really fascinating

[@allcarthings7678]

I have to say I’m surprised it runs that well on a OTS map. Solid bro

[@kenthodge4173]

Awesome job bro

[@MichaelCow]

looks clean too

[@tanako98]

That thing will move on the freeway!!!

[@941garage]

It moved so hard one time it blew up 😂

[@tanako98]

@@941garage you blew it up already? What did you not add fuel etc? Bigger exhaust for sure to breath

[@941garage]

@@tanako98 I was pushing the car really hard 28-30psi then after 3 months the crank hub slipped.

Can you drop the links to the eBay parts bro thank you great content keep it coming !

[@alexleonard1852]

Hell yeah man just watched the series I love it! Any idea what size tubing was used on the manifold? Wanting to build my own

[@941garage]

2” t304 stainless steel, I don’t know what exact thickness the tube is but I’m thinking it’s at least 1/8-3/16, feels pretty thick.

[@nickgrimshaw9981]

How are you running a setup with no blow off valve?

[@or-ian6973]

I like it. Decent work for sure. Your WG angle is far from ideal though.

[@941garage]

True it could flow a bit better, but over all the tuner says WG control is pretty much on point. Has no problem hitting boost target either.

[@jhymierbond9073]

how much do you think everything cost

[@mattpinola7135]

Any ideas if the turbo sitting so close to the coil packs will cause issues? I'm about to start building my 335xi and that has me pretty worried.

[@941garage]

Everything sits pretty forward and clear from the plugs and harness. Just for extra caution just wrap the harness with heat wrap and you shouldn’t have issues.

[@vietshooter2067]

did you had to prime the engine/turbo before the initial start or did you just bolt on everything and started it up ?

[@941garage]

Yes I did prime the car, you need to get oil flowing to the turbo before your start the car.

[@monroemidnight9372]

He y man! How long was your turbo oil feed when you made the kit?

[@941garage]

40 inches.

[@michaelreeves5487]

Are you running a custom single turbo tune or you just running MHD wasn’t sure if I could use MHD for startup or if I need a tune to fire it up and run it for first start

[@941garage]

First start I was on mhd ots tune. Just don’t bang on the car and stay at low rpm’s. But it’s recommended to get a base map.

[@monroemidnight9372]

I have this manifold, got back in December, didn’t have the longer wastegate extension. Is yours a newer revision?

[@941garage]

Yes the latest one, wdym by wastegate extension? Did you have to use another pipe from the manifold then to your wastegate?

[@monroemidnight9372]

My wastegate is closer to the manifold, flange is directly on the merge pipe before the t4 flange.

[@941garage]

@@monroemidnight9372 mine is in the same place. Boost control is on point.

[@941garage]

@@monroemidnight9372 same place just on the other side. I believe yours is on the front? He placed mine in the back.

[@xaviercarts7419]

How much is the cost to making piping set up with turbo mount a Lil more back lol

[@941garage]

I bought the manifold from Vader Solutions for around $600. I think they don’t make them anymore. But everything else like downpipe, wastegate dump tube is all custom made by me. I got all my parts from eBay.

[@errornull9329]

Where can I buy that manifold And coolant pipe?

[@941garage]

I purchased the manifold from Vador Solutions, but I think they stopped making them.

[@Crashersss]

dont you need a base made for st setup?

[@941garage]

Yes most definitely, but cruising around won’t hurt.

[@Crashersss]

@@941garage imma bout to be done installing my st and hella ppl telling me not to start the car with a base map

[@941garage]

@@Crashersss my tuner said it’s fine to start the car on a ots map. Just try not to get into boost, if the car runs fine you can lightly cruise around. But yes it’s recommended to upload a base map before first start. I only drove the car around on ots map for 30miles to make sure she’s 100% so I don’t run into problems when I start data logging for custom tune.

[@elmecanico77]

I need to reprogram the computer.

[@1ROWDY35]

Putty it doesn't have that typical single turbo sound 😢

[@941garage]

That’s because this turbo doesn’t have the t51r mod.

[@1bad335i]

Where does that nipple connect to on the water tube ?

[@941garage]

Connects to the turbo, coolant feed.

[@thelightning87]

fyi that headshield will just trap heat in there for it to build up. Remove it and let it ventilate
