Yeah tried all the different types and no dice, i wanted the turbos to sit in a certain spot and could not make it happen. The up and over 4 into ones (stainless works) were close though.

Also how do go about changing electronic to manual speedo's? Do you all fork out the 900 bucks for a rodshop converter?
Can I use my manual cable and mod it of I don't want to use hydraulic?
thanks.
There isn't that much wiring in the loom so if it were expensive i wouldn't bother buying it just make your own (I had a complete VY SS so it wasn't a problem i encountered)
Don't buy the rodshop converter! if it is anything like their other products it'll be very poorly made, I made a new instrument cluster.

ahok, how much did they bill you for just the manifolds? OBX in the US makes a reasonably priced 4into1 stainless set, they appear to come a fair way forward though.

Are vl lines any bigger than VH fuel lines ? Would it be ok to use the standard lines with an 044 pump , even if I wanna do a h/c combo later on ?

Cheers. What would be the strongest ones you'd recommend? It's a single turbo setup, but aiming for a bit of power.
Also what relocation kit did you use Hoon?
