Hi Sam do you have anymore pics of manifold with t25 flange on it? I'm fitting same turbo to a v2 manifold which is going on my ibiza.

All my photos can be found here.

Now if it was me I wouldn't be keen doing this with a v2 manifold, the v3 is so much stronger, thicker material, better welds and support braces.
You will also need to fabricate a turbo support bracket, badger 5 did mine but he said it wasn't to bad to do and still used the oem bracket.

Might just sell the v2 and buy a proper t25 manifold then. Cheers.

Still no reply
Just sent a message saying if it's not arrived by tomorrow I'm making a PayPal dispute.

 

[sambryant]

Been sent a royal mail tracking number, when I type it in the results are, no parcel.

Dispute time

I had that recently with the uni brace and it was stuck in a royal fail depot. It might be worth checking with your local depot first.

Good point, it would be worth a check at royal fail nearest to you also.

Hope you sort it Sam.

 

[sambryant]

Thanks. I will go to my local depot in the morning.

Are you just running the standard lcr fuel pump?

Yes but uprated 550 cc injectors

Happy I have dropped the car off at badger 5 for mapping.

 

[ReDBull]

Looking forward to seeing what you make. Are you have launch control, full throttle shifts and all the goodies?

Yes of course told bill to run the turbo as hard as he can without melting anything.
