We have been meaning to modify our EWG FD manifolds for sometime as aftermarket intake manifolds became more popular, and overall turbo frame size has decreased. Originally we developed our twinscroll EWG manifold back in 2013, and everyone was running the OEM intake, and it was popular to run the large from S475 turbos for big power( 600+). In order for this frame turbo to fit, it required placing the turbo in an orientation that didn't allow much turbine to LIM space. We copied this manifold placement when we starting casting them 8 years, just changed the internal geometry( this is when we developed the tapered runner design). Design softare has really changed over the past 10+ years, and it makes things a lot easier, so we finally bit the bullet. This new unit tappers even nicer, you can barely see the shape change between the round hole at the 13B flange, and the square tubing at the T4 flange. This new unit is also equal length, and has better flow characteristics( less bends overall, and a little big shorter runner length). We've also made it so the emap ports require drilling, not everyone is using those and this way you can get a much smaller hole to flow internally better. Front wastegate orientation has been changed to make it easier to reroute if desired too. As always still fits RHD, we've got 100 being cast right now. We are discontinuing the V1 models, as there is no reason to make those now.
