The evo turbo manifold is a fairly good idea, but the fact is that the bolt pattern is too skewed.
ALL of the bolt holes must be bored out. What rotary tool can you fit inside that bolt hole to bore it?
The most success I had was with a dremel and spending 3 days grinding at it, just to find out that it
still won't fit. The heartbreaking part is to find out that after every time you get one bolt to fit there is another
one that won't anymore.
The ports also mismatch and could cause plenty of turbulence and friction.
I love the idea of having a twin scroll turbo, but it's just a lot of hassle. If you have an air compressor and rotary tool then you should have an easier time than I did.
