Divided T4 yes. Borg Warner 61mm. Never ran 20psi through it yet. Hope to cross that road in the next few months. AR is just a ratio though, so it's kind of hard to compare different manufacturers housings just by the AR number alone.

Here is old post of mine showing some back to back tests on a 2.5L Subaru I believe, comparing two different BW turbos (60mm and 63mm) with two different exhaust housings (.91 and 1.0). You can see why I chose the .91.

But again, these are BW housings so not really apples to apples with PTE stuff. And remember AR is a ratio, there's more to it than just that number.

Yea I wouldn't go with a 6766 if I was going that big, next step is the 6466 for me if I ever get there. The 6266 should keep me happy for this season and hopefully all of next. Plenty to do to the car that doesn't involve turbos after this upgrade.

The 6466 sure fit nice behind the motor on the 3Dx Evo at Tx2k...

So why a T4 manifold on a 6266? I had good luck with the vband on mine, makes good power and spool is responsive, just my 2 cents. You will like the new power capability!

**Murlo26** · 03-22-2013

I debated vband, the AMS kit is vband and is pretty badass. But honestly from what I have seen the t4 twinscroll is even a bit better for response while still being able to dish out the top end.

Realistically, this all came together with the opportunity to work with MAP on making their new t4 twinscroll kit, so that is why I jumped onto it this year (was going to wait for another year of succesful motor running) but it was a good opportunity to jump into the non stock frame stuff which I have wanted for a while now.

Looking good

**4seasons69** · 03-27-2013

Seen some of these pics on fb. Looks good!

**Kracka** · 03-27-2013

Are they going to wrap the manifold and use a turbo blanket on the housing?

No wrap planned. Coating the manifold and hotside for sure. Undecided on what else.

**goodhart** · 03-27-2013

INB4 Magnus claims they were the first to use that manifold design.

ROFL

**Kracka** · 03-27-2013

I'm sure Magnus will claim they invented turbochargers all together and that Mitsubishi Heavy ripped them off.

**Kracka** · 03-27-2013

Melty melty

I vote to heatshield and wrap the hell out of that setup.

**Murlo26** · 03-27-2013

I have the firewall heat shield already.

Planning to wrap lines and some sensors too with heat tape.

Ill figure it out before I push it real hard.

93gtpeater · 03-27-2013

So no cruise for you? I would wrap that shit. You can go wrong with wrapping something... Better safe than sorry. Hope you put down so good numbers so you can run some liter bikes

**Murlo26** · 03-27-2013

Nope, ill be there, at least on wastegate boost

I just don't plan to beat the shit out of the car.

**Halon** · 03-27-2013

Very nice. I 2nd the turbo blanket idea, but either way should be badass.

**Murlo26** · 03-27-2013

Adding the following after seeing everyones comments and talking with my tooner:

For oil feed/drain:

For wastegate lines:

And of course I am still getting the two coatings, on the manifold and hotside of the turbo. So the hotside of the turbo will be doubly covered.

**scheides** · 03-27-2013

These are fantastic additions.
