I got a good deal on my turbos, so I dropped some $$ on upgrades. I have installed the CR kit. They didn't come with manifolds, I purchased spd performance ported manifolds and exhaust adapters. I also swapped to turbosmart wastegates, and bypass, yes I'm going to run bypass instead of BOV because I have a manual and I don't want lag every time I shift, and I kinda want this car to be a sleeper.
Planning on running 3" or 2.5" down pipes?

I like the CR kit but will have decided to get the kit installed before I start playing with too many upgrades. Kinda want to know what the baseline will be for this setup. I also plan on running a turbosmart kompact plumb back. Call me crazy, but a normal BOV is just a bit too much for my liking in terms of sound. In terms of the adapters, I plan on either modifying the stock adapters or just going with the SPD ones...

I'm going to tie into the stock exhaust for now. Eventually planning on getting these:

They are $100 less on ebay.

@Patrick

I would like to thank you for finding the proper connectors for the MAP sensor! Just got mine wired up.

As a note for anyone else wanting to create this adapter:

MAP sensor connector: https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/p...MI7vuYrffE3AIVTx2BCh3zsAuDEAQYASABEgJDEvD_BwE
MAP sensor connector vehicle side: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity-AMP/1-1564559-1?qs=p6mKsO3M06Ojl0EOZXgy0Q==
Terminals: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity/1718760-1-Loose-Piece?qs=sGAEpiMZZMve4/bfQkoj%2bHiRd0sk8m0YI/9ne4kQ8Os=

MAP Sensor: https://www.autozone.com/engine-management/sensor-turbo-boost/bosch-sensor-turbo-boost/560421_0

From the procharger picture, pin 1 on the MAP sensor connector goes to pin 4 of the vehicle connector. Pin 2 to Pin 3, Pin 3 to Pin 2, Pin 4 to Pin 1.

@zackmd1 go 3 inch. It's a lot of work to get the downpipes on this thing working. If you dont go three and then get lower numbers or want higher numbers you will be thinking and punching yourself for not going to the three inch right off the bat. And I still think your crazy for going liquid cooled but it's awesome your doing it.

@Patrick your build sounds interesting too. I recommend u dont tie into your stock exhaust at all. It will kill your gains and you will end up retuning, trust me on that one. Your gonna have some very bad back pressure staying stock. The best thing for this kit is free flow the whole way.

Out of $$$ for now. I'm going to upgrade the entire exhaust eventually. I'm not looking for massive hp gains right away. I'm doing this as a hobby to learn how, not to go drag racing.

Adapters drawn up. Hoping to correct the warping issue with the addition of two points in the rear closer then the OEM mounting point.

I thought about using them but they just were not long enough to include the rear most mounting points.... Thankfully work as a plasma CNC table so it will not be an issue at all to get these cut from 304 stainless.

It is nice having spare parts lying around! 2013 GT500 intercooler pump. Fits perfectly with my liquid to air loop! Also thinking of going with this expansion tank and relocating it to in front of the airbox.

Do you have a link for that tank? Is it expensive?

For whatever reason it does not seem like they want to...

@Jarstang Any reason why we can't get a sticky?
