mounting a manifold

07-08-2010, 05:31 PM #1Hey guys, so ive been in the process of mounting my sd manifold on my 603. However the tube coming out of the thermostat housing is obstructing the manifold from mounting. Im wondering if anyone has had any experience with this and could give me some insight.

LOL nice flash light holder! I wish it was always that easy. This is the same manifold you took off? How much interference is there?

07-09-2010, 12:15 PM #4Yeah the flashlight holder worked out great. The manifold shown is the one going on. I believe ive worked out the pipe. There are various pipes from different 603 applications taht have the bends i need. Its now down to finding them. The next step is to reclock the turbo and find a way to stop it hitting the firewall.

But it does look like it could be the other way around, but what do I know, I dont even have one yet.

From this picture I found it looks like you need that angled cast turbo outlet.

Nope, right way up (note the EGR hole).

Thats exactly what I need. That or another turbo. Any progress on the electronic vnt controllers? The thread seems to have dissapeared.

07-12-2010, 01:10 AM #11I am going to need a new turbo. My wastegate actuator hits the water hose coming off of the thermostat. Any ideas for something that will fit with little modification. I would assume not many people here have done this?

07-12-2010, 08:32 AM #12I have a t04 .60 turbo I'm trying to get ride off. I don't know how well it would work on the 603 motor. But worth a try, I would assume.
I also plan on getting a full size stuffed peter for the back seat should help me maintain some speed on the motor way!
