(UPDATE on page 2)
I'm getting the Treadstone kit install atm and ran unto this while removing the oem manifold and has me a little worried!!



Any ideas and is that something I should be worried about?

Thanks

O yea the Treadstone manifold is a beauty and it fits nicely.

 

Nice. More then likely just a gasket

 

Looks like you had a pretty good gasket leak there.

 

Oo, that takes away a huge headache.....yea the bolts where kinda loose wen the oem manifold was getting removed. I will keep updating this post with new Pics as they come.

 

How was removing the turbo? Ill be doing this in a couple weeks.

 

ya looks like it was a loose spot in the manifold or a bad gasket...Removing the stock turbo is pretty easy if you have the right tools i had to remove the support brace like im sure everything else did to drop the turbo and o2 housing since we couldnt reach a bolt

 

The manifold was either backing off or cracked. Either way, new gasket and new manifold will solve the problem. Just clean it up nicely before it goes back on obviously.

 

Can't really say out of experience cause I'm not the one that's actually installing the Kit. Its the guys at Racelabs in Miami. But it's not a hard job......just make sure you drain the coolant.....hehe

 

I didnt drain anything got a nice oil and coolant bath it was nice i needed that...but its pretty straight forward sure theres a ton of people who can help you with it including me

 

good guys over there at racelab. angel's old 240 was sick

 

Thats where i dynoed on sat. Cool guys there

 

Yea they are cool people.

 

Nice man, congrats on the kit. Keep us posted on what you do and how everything goes. PS, who's tuning you?

 

Thanks, hopefully Joe will.

 

Just so I'm still on topic, yes, congrats on the kit.

Now off topic...

I laughed so hard at your sig.

 

Sweeeeeet! Most definitely keep the pics coming!

 

Nude pics :P

 

heck yea! sub'd

 

**** yeah, that car was a beast. All on a stock head/cams too

 

I saw it on sat, but i think they blew the motor. At least thats what they told me but he said its goin to come out alot better

 

It was always breaking something, but it was making 700ish whp on a piston/rod KA24. Went through trannys and diffs and all kinds of **** on a regular basis, but when it worked it was fast as ****. And honestly a pretty low-budget build for the power and speed.

 

They actually sold that 240 to some guy there and he was daily driving it around town with 600 something whp without tuning, they told him but he dint care that's how the motor blew....So now its back in their hands getting everything done from scratch.

 

YEP, THEY ALSO HAD THIS BAD BOY AND ITS A GIRL THAT DRIVES THIS BEAUTY.

 

lol that's Ramon's Girlfriends car.....one of the guys that work there. The car has allot of work done but its got a low psi tune to keep Hes girl at bay......lol

 

I'm getting pissed. All these people installing turbo kits and mine has been sitting in the garage for 2.5 weeks due not having a big enough garage....also no reputable shops I'd trust to put my turbo on around here...
