Holset H1C in huuuge trim size with 18cm/2 hotside housing.

Manifold was.... a Gen Hartge 6 branch, I butchered it to make the turbo manifold, then re-made 95% of it to accomodate the Holset's huge dimentions and the external wastegate port.

Its very large, and very very effective :lol:

Thanks :cool:

As Ant says it's a H1C with a 55/82mm compressor and 67/63mm turbine on a 18cm3 housing. T3 twin entry flange too.

The manifold has had many alterations and additions, it's nothing like the manifold I bought from Ant about 2yrs ago, so many things were changed in evolution of the setup, now it's days numbered as a new one is being planned and made over the next few weeks. I'll be sad to remove it and hang it up in the garage but it's done me well and deserves some TLC before being hidden away till it's needed once more.

HTH, Mark.

Ow yes, removing plugs without taking apart half of the engine is going to be a great improvement!
