I couldn't find an example of this combo. Anyone know if they would work together?
I know the S4 is compatible with A/C and P/S, even though it is a little tight.
I also know the EFR is a huge turbo.
Do they play well together? It would be in a '99.
Before you ask, I wanted to pick up a used S4. I don't want to wait for Artech/Absurd.
Thanks.

I should have written that I was only interested in the s4 manifold with a custom downpipe, not the whole kit.
I know that fael had a different non efr borg on a begi manifold. I sort of guessed an efr couldn't be a/c and p/s compatible based on the overall length leaving no room for a downpipe without a cheater bend.

No way with ac and ps. Ever.
Yes you will need a custom downpipe.
I would call up begi and give them the efr dimensions and ask em if it will fit.
Knowing begi though, they will likely give you the wrong answer.
I say just wait for artech

Here's a blurry top-down pic of my EFR. Notice that the collector is in between the #1 and #2 runners on the head flange. This is as far back as possible to get a 3" downpipe on it without hitting the rear engine bay shelf.
PS? Nope!

ARTech has a long runner low mount manifold that he designed for an EFR to be compatible with both AC/PS. He posted a pic of it somewhere on the forum but I cannot remember the thread. It is being made for FrankB if I am not mistaken so I will get to see it first hand when he gets back from deployment this year.
EDIT: I found it, here: https://www.miataturbo.net/artech-fa...inquiry-69584/

I have that ARTech manifold. Currently with Garrett + long v-band adapter.

Wowsers. I don't know how you managed to wedge all that in there, but you certainly appear to have met that goal. Also digging the couil bracket ![wink](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I'm guessing some pump and compressor heatshields are in your immediate future?
