Drewgo manifolds are really good, but they are hard to come by. Last I heard, he hasn't made any in a while and doesn't plan on making any more. I've had mine for about three or four years now.

Good luck finding a drewgo. they're hard to come by and typically kinda expensive but definitely worth it. what size housing is on that holset? I as well went with a holset for my single turbo should be running right after the holidays

I'm not sure to be honest but this thing is heavy! Wireless, are you having to run a oil restrictor for your turbo?

theres no need to run a restrictor for the holset as long as the oil drain line is big enough. ur oil drain should be no smaller than -10

The price and reliability of holset turbo is what drove me in this direction. This turbo has similar specs to that of an HX35 or GT35R for a fraction of the cost

Haha we really should. Did you do an auto-manual swap? I might need some help with the clutch pedal and master cylinder install portion. WIsh I knew of some local guys

thats why i went holset too, theyre basically indestructible. plus if they do explode (which is rare) theyre cheap to rebuild. and the hx35 will put down great power for the price. plus i heard when the boost kicks in its violent unfortunately i did not do a swap, my car is an original 5 speed. but i do knw some local supra guys that have done it, as well as a local lexus guy thats doing it now. jason (toyboxx) just did the conversion on his car recently. but im down to help if you need it. shoot me a txt some time, my name is taylor. 602 402 5529

Yea I'm in the process of doing the auto to manual swap. It's actually pretty straight forward. I ended up buying the conversion pieces from Driftmotion. It's a little pricey but comes with everything you need.
