Why not contact Abe and buy a cheap log setup w/ a downpipe? I'm pretty sure his prices would be comparable to a simliar FM setup. As much as everyone has a super hard on for the EFR, if you're starting from scratch and don't have the cash, get a *gasp* churbo.
Once money rolls in, you can then upgrade to a real Garrett and not buy another manifold/downpipe. No, you won't be any closer to an EFR setup, but you will have the flexibility of the standard T2 flange setup.

Abe is months behind, never emailed me back about my EFR setup. It's either EFR or a GT with v-band. Don't want a T2 flange in the long run considering I want to push near 500whp when it's all done with, should be able to do that with the EFR/GT series.

On the other hand, if this car is your only (primary) means of transportation, you need to prioritize: job #1, project car #2.

I have a truck I use to daily drive, so I have 2 vehicles, also we have the "fishing" truck which was only used for racing transportation and now used to go fishing. So technically I have 3 vehicles lol

There's no where I can route it that far, i'd need a extra long harness.
Can anyone tell me what I am looking at? Got an email and I don't know what manifold/turbo this is. The wastegate is mounted on bottom? And looks like you can mount a wastegate to the wastegate? Why am I lost?
