I have a question... how are you routing your oil drain using the new oil drain without it hitting the a/c or without messing up the turbo from oil building back up in the turbo center section?

Re: New Tomei Manifold is finished.

After all those years spent on that R&D they could have at least made a V- Band or T3 T4 like said above, it's not even built to be externally gated.

Like said before the BW EFR would probably work well with it. I guess they figure the engine doesn't hold that much power.
