Yeah, just placed the cluster over the airbag it should still explode out as designed. The pillar is held on by the same single torx screw.

Have a problem with the boost controller connector having 12 volts on each pin. I thought you had the same problem before, did you ever figure it out?

Would you be interested in selling these? fantastic work mate,

At some point, possibly after I resolve a few remaining issues and dyno the car.

inspired by your design to use stock manifolds,

our version

seems like the wastegate will have a difficult time operating with that pipe layout.

why?

NY135ivishnu · 07-06-2015, 03:38 PM

The waste gate should be as close as possible to the turbo and in direct path of air flow.

I'd be terrified of it throwing that cluster into my face

I've seen the damage bags do on their own, I don't want them adding hard plastic to the mix

I think it will be fine. The pillar is hard plastic as well. Additionally, the air bag blows towards the door window and i think it will be functionally similar to the original pillar.

Basically repeating what the guy below you said, you have the wastegate pipe going back and away from the flow direction. For the best wastegate function and boost control, you should prioritize the wastegate location in the flow stream. I pulled an attached image from google search, it was originally posted on 3sx.com. You can see how this other manifold prioritizes the wastegate in the flow stream, which will likely provide more accurate boost control. If you have boost control issues after installation, you may want to go back and revise your design.

Otherwise, it looks like a great project and I look forward to see some results!
