in terms of heat protecting i did both. ceramic coat turbine housing and down pipe AND heat wrap manifold, downpipe AND heat blanket

Wow impressive job. How long did that manifold take to wrap?

He sent it out himself. I get that the dude is busy and has bigger fish to fry so I cut him a lot of slack, but when I asked him before I mailed it over it sounded like it was going to be a quick turnaround. I guess my part is part of a larger batch
The spare engine is still apart anyway so it's not like I am waiting solely on him so it's no big deal.
Picked up the car, total bill for modifying and installing new turbo, intercooler, DV relocation kit etc etc was about $250. Flashed the new tune but need to drive about 40 miles for the MAF calibration and then do some logging from there.
Car bogged down into a limp mode of sorts after I revved it to 4k with light throttle... scanned the code with the Cobb AP and it came up with a p0606 code. Mechanic re-tightened some of the new DV relocation pipe work and then cleared the code and has been all fine since. Will wait till I get to 40 miles of slow driving and log a light throttle run before doing anything more serious. After this Stratified can make some adjustments and hopefully this will sort it out.
First impression are the boost and torque still come on very strong very early. No lag at all. If it makes 380-400whp with response like this I’d be very happy.

The work they did on the K04 was very simple, as explained on the previous page. Just basically cutting and welding a pipe. Anyone can do it. For the DV valve, it wasn’t integrated so had to relocate it, I just used a Unitronic relocation kit. I watched them fit it in about 30 min.
The shop is in Surat Thani in the south, but I personally would not recommend this shop as they are not so familiar with custom stuff and are better with basic service requirements and fitting stock parts.
I have used other people to do custom work on my old car (A31 céfiro with 2JZ single turbo) and they were amazing and did awesome work for very good prices. The Thai people have retrofitted the 2JZ into so many cars here. However for import cars Euro cars like the VW golf fitted with the 2.0 TSI engine, it’s a bit harder to find people who are experienced and will modify. I have found a few shops that do it, but only around bangkok (8hrs drive from me) and none in the south.

I'm currently researching building my my own turbo kit with a gtx29 and atp sells the turbo and manifold as one piece and they also sell just manifolds but it depends on what mount type the turbine housing has. I think they only sell t3 and t25 manifolds.

Yup. But was hearing that the atp manifold doesn't cut it. And tubular is not a option for me. The authorities are hard on such mods. So long I can keep the stock heatshield

I think another option may be a custom tubular manifold but that's [emoji383][emoji383][emoji383]. What about the atp manifold doesn't cut it? I remember reading some stuff about them being sub par but I wasn't sure why.
