He didn't run a special hood. Instead the throtle manifold was adapted to accept needed clearances for being rotated. There is also the option of the early shorter runner 253 manifold which is closer to the STi height but with the large pelum at the throtlebody. I have not had a chance to check rotated clearances yet with the shorter using TVG housings.

Yeah I saw a couple pages back that he trimmed the reinforcement on the stock hood to clear.
Those manifolds are taller and I figured there were clearance issues, just curious.
Seraphinwolf
11-28-2011, 11:26 PM
The middle manifold is the early 253 I was talking about. It's SIGNIFICANTLY shorter... I need to measure height of turbo TVG's and the NA "fake TVG"s to get more number down clearances wise. I think my rough meausurements were like 5" from bottom of EGR crap thinger to level with the end of the runners, and 1.5-2" higher than the EGR thinger for the shorter. TVG housings are what 2.5-3"ish tall?

Thanks. I keep going back and fourth on PC or just spray it. I think longevity it should be PC but $$ wise spray with these cans.

And for the record, I used spray paint for my brakes, and they lasted since July without any chipping or staining, and that was with a almost white silver.
Just food for thought.

Well mine is a sticker and didn't peel or crack either. I did get a decent quality one though to oem size specs. I also put a coat of clear on it.

Do tell!
Do tell!
I had my green ones powder coated in... And, on my pink ones, I had them airbrushed. Both sets were done by the same guy and I am hands down more happy with the logo painted on (he also sprayed clear over them after painting the logo).
And, my powder guy has a pretty close match to Project Mu teal...

Got three of the 4 calipers all part. no pads, seals or pistons in them anymore. Now I'm left to the last 08 STi front caliper. It's still together, I could only get one bolt out. My buddy is coming over with his impact gun, hopefully it's better than mine. Stupid craftsman.

Having a heck of a time finding replacement bolts for the calipers. Ordered my rebuild kits for them though.
Why do you need replacements? What happened to the originals? Could've had them powder coated to match...

I'll get that price for you tomorrow.

That sucks. Can you just measure them and replace those two?
