Sounds like a winner then. The limitation will still be space, as the EFR is so damn long I don't have a lot to work with.

Yes.. nothing yet. The other issue is that the manifold seems to fit M10 sized bolts but the head is much smaller. If I can't ge the right ones I might have to get some sleeves or something...

My local Isuzu place are great, but it is very much "part numbers or too hard".

I need one of these, except it needs to reduce from 3" to 2.5". Hopefully they are available

Nice work.

That is usual...

Not a real smooth shape...I'd be more worried about the pressure side rather than vacume side (within reason) as blowing a intercooler line is a real downer
Western filters sell a wide range of silicone joints

Will be interesting to see how the BW works out ... Nice work!

Have to say I agree. I bought all my silicone hoses, elbows and reducers from Engine Protection Equipment - however they just seem to be in WA:
