well today was very exciting, The Backdraft manifold turned up. Gotta say its a nicely made manifold.
So i bolted it on.
Added a turbo to it.
Needed clocking, so did that.
looking good i think. but also looking like it is a bit high for boost pipe but thought never mind will make it work.
So took turbo back off and sat cylinder head on block and sat turbo on.
OH NO, its no good, There is no room and i mean NO room for a DP and the where the boost pipe needs to be is a strut brace.
Words cannot describe how gutted i am. Totally sick of it now. The
ibiza certainly was not designed to have a BT conversion.
Not sure what to do really, still waiting for Impossible manifold to turn up, but i dont like the look of it at all.
I have sent JBS a email for a price of Equal length manifold and DP to match, i feel this is the route i will be taking now. Just dont know
how to fund it.
Anyone wanna buy my body....lol
