No problem, whenever you get a chance to answer is cool.

Did you get the turbo today? Does everything look good?

Yep! Got it today. Everything is perfect. I'll leave you positive feedback on the sale now. Thanks a lot!

I'll be selling a k03 next month. I wonder if [MENTION=688]Sourskittle[/MENTION] can rebuild it and make it fit. I'm sure you can find a bunch of k03s used for sale cheap.

K03 as in a focus st turbo? Has that ever been fitted to a fiesta st yet? Can't find any info

It has not Would be a budget turbo for sure and you'd probably be the first but skittles is the expert.

Very interesting...i wonder about the focus turbo now.

EDIT Nevermind, looked it up doesnt work.

My personal opinion is that unless your going to a GTX28, the cyborg is the best current option for drivability and power mixed. The GTX has some happy owners as well, but its fairly costly comparatively.

As far as DHM making a stock turbo based tubular manifold, I wouldn't buy it or want it. I prefer cast manifolds ( and I'm not alone ). I think Adam at MAP said he was looking at a cast stock turbo manifold replacement with an external wastegate port. I'd take that opinion. Issue is... It doesn't exist, and you maybe really to trade the car in by the time it gets here ( it it does at all, who knows ). I would stop porting stockers (unless someone requested it ) if Adam cast a new high-performance manifold. Keep in mind, a DHM tube manifold would be around $700-$1200 and would likely have a bit more lag but more top end, for that, I'd recommend just going GtX.

I think the middle ground would be a TD04HL-19T. But... No one will build it because the profit margin on TD04's.

Dont worry i get weekly request for stock replacement i refuse to do them. There are several reasons which i have data from, stock, ported, puma etc big turbo and stock turbo.... I wont be doing one anytime soon. Lets just hope MAP can knock it out the park with there turbo and manifold upgrade.

Question maybe somebody can chime in with some info. What are the reasons/benefits of running a ported stock manifold versus a tubular manifold?

I was always under the impression that log style manifolds (isn't that what our stock one is?) do not flow as well as a tubular manifold.

I was looking a purchasing a pumaspeed manifold because of this

 

[Dustys318]

The heavy cast stainless steel manifold holds the heat better for scavenging and a ported one helps flow. Look at dyno charts with the turbo system you plan to use in the manner you plan to drive. And whatever budget constraints... good luck with your decision and have fun!

Sorry I haven't been on here to report progress but I'm waiting on a back order boost control solenoid... the Tial springs are only holding up to 20psi... Adam's tune is solid and smooth... I figure by the time the controller comes in I'll be getting the aux fueling kit form DHM...

 

[Sourskittle]

Dusty, how do you feel about the general power and the power delivery so far ? I've been meaning to ask, but I've been busy with my project Lexus

 

[Dustys318]

Definitely stronger midrange and top end for sure. I was searching online for information on an aftermarket boost control solenoid but nothing for the FiST... I also seen a stronger replacement spring for a factory boost recirculation valve in a mini, wondering if it'll work on ours..

 

[Hijinx]

[MENTION=2063]Dustys318[/MENTION] aux fuel kits are live on Stratifieds site.

 

[Dustys318]

For the FiST?! Cool! That means I should be receiving mine from DHM soon!

Yes. They will go out soon. Man, I hate that word "soon."

 

[Dustys318]

Me too.. "soon" was 4 months for one thing and 3 months for another..

 

[Sourskittle]

Dusty for boost control, I think aem makes a gauge that has a boost controller built into it that someone else used and loved it. I think it was someone with a euro car. You'd loose somethings like boost per gear and things like that, but it maybe something for you to look into. But honestly, should be no reason to need one really.

The car comes with one built in already, it's not working, took it off and hooked it straight to battery power and no clicking so I'm waiting for a factory replacement one (back order). I was just hoping someone had used an aftermarket electronic one (similar to factory) with any success. I want to continue tuning but can't until I get the boost control solenoid replaced...

 

[Sourskittle]

Dude... I'd have sent you one for free. I have 3-4 spares

 

[Dustys318]

PLEASE DO!! Woo-hoo! Test them first though, ha! FedEx it and send me the invoice...
