    Where did you get the turbo manifold? It looks like the one Turbo Specialities is selling but upside down (is it reversible like that?)

    Well it was a fair question. After all, he has a universal pipe kit and a knock off BOV. Plus I can't see a close up of the turbo... but it looks to have something on the housing.

    Why does everything you write come out so negative man? Chill. Ive seen other posts uve done an ur always putting everyone else down. If you need to do that to make urself feel better do it on someone elses thread but pls not mine.

    Its not a universal pipe kit btw.

    Also if you read a little closer , you'll notice in the pic of the bov it clearly says I USED to have a knockoff, now I have the real thing.

    Also its a Garrett T3 Super 60 turbo, that "thing" on it is called an actuator.

    And Ill post a close up of the Turbo just for you:
