Subbed to watch! Interested to see how to the manifold and Cyborg turnout. I may be a future Cyborger myself. Good luck! :)

I'm in to see what happens with the manifold. My bets are on it cracking but I really hope it doesn't. Good luck!
Haha I sure hope not. I was set on getting a pumaspeed manifold but when I saw this I figured I would jump on it and put it to the test. If it cracks after a few months, a year, then we know it's not worth it. I'll eventually get a better quality manifold if this doesn't pan out

Added some white emblem overlays to the car. Trying to save for cyborg but still get the itch to do little things like this





Also picked this up from another forum member for my cyborg build

That bov looks familiar lol. Good luck on your build I really want to see what that header does for you. Especially because I have the 2560 now and need to do everything I can for spool

Haha yeah you may have seen it before :p

I plan on throwing a little bit of money into the header. Think I'm going to get the welds beefed up/reinforced and then get it ceramic coated. Hopefully it will help put off any cracking that may happen. I've also read about bracing the turbo to take some stress off the header. Not sure how I would go about that but if I can figure out a cheap DIY way to brace the turbo I will

Sent my manifold along with turbo to sourskittle to have the welds on manifold reinforced wherever it looked weak. Surprisingly it didn't need much done to it. Now the plan is to have it cut up for an external wastegate :)

I have a tune+ wastegate actuator for sale if anybody is interested let me know. I'll let it go for cheap.

First post was updated with new mods and an update on upcoming mods

I really want to see this manifold. I am getting ready to either order a custom turbo header to eliminate the atp adapter plate or just go dhm already lol.

I can't wait to see your set up maybe yours will be the one to make big power with the cyborg. Please post pics of the manifold when it's all done!

I'll be sure to post a bunch of pics when it's done. I'm not sure if it'll make "big" power lol. I'm limited to 93, no ethanol in my area. I was thinking of doing a 100 octane tune for track days next spring/summer. Believe it or not 100 octane is more readily available than ethanol by me. There's supposed to be a place about an hour from me that sells it but it's not worth driving in the opposite direction of the track for it.

My expectations are 250whp, maybe I'm being conservative with that number but I'd be happy with that for the price I paid. That's not an estimate from skittle or anybody, just what I'm expecting

Can't wait to see results! I'll be pinching my pennies once I order my DHM IC/2j downpipe, in order to either do this, ATP 2554, or DHM 2650...

As awesome and budget friendly as the cyborg is. I just do not know if It will give me what I want out of the car. I am still seriously considering it. especially after more and more people run it, But I do not want to get it and make 250whp and not be happy with it. So I am more than likely going to go the quick spool kit from DHM. Considering the shop is less than a mile from my work, and me and Russell have talked many times about it. I am thinking this is the way to go. rather it happens this year or not is another story. Cant wait to see how you like the cyborg compared to the other setups. Depending on how you like it, and your review, may sway me one way or the other.

I hear ya.. I debated for quite awhile over whether I wanted to do cyborg or deadhook.. I've sort of grown out of the whole big HP phase which is why I went with cyborg over a 350hp set up. Just don't need it. I also like the flatter torque curve the cyborg has compared to big turbos. Don't get me wrong, big HP is awesome, but I really don't have use for it. Don't want to get caught street racing and I only hit the track a handful of times a year. The price basically sold me lol. Think I'm looking at less than $2500 for everything

You cannot beat the price of the cyborg set up. If I didn't get a smoking deal on my ATP2560 kit I would have probably gone cyborg . The only other reason I chose the ATP kit over the cyborg is i was chasing a hp goal of 300whp and I knew the cyborg would not get me there, But i do track my car and frequently race in mexico....


I seriously cannot wait to see a Vdyno on your set up [MENTION=952]frankiefiesta[/MENTION], If I went cyborg my set up would have been identical to yours.
