This would be huge... Especially for those of us in states like CA.Emissions compliant capable as well.

The manufacturer is a little behind, I should have samples today.

Awesome! The plastic mock up just wasn't doing it for me. I can get excited about cast iron.

Cast stainless steel
Once we are done inspecting the samples we will get an updated schedule put together.

How have you gotten past the issue with stainless manifolds cracking compared to cast iron?Cast stainless steel
Once we are done inspecting the samples we will get an updated schedule put together.
What about stainless's tendency to shed heat faster than cast iron?

I could be wrong, but I don't think a cast stainless manifold would be nearly as prone to cracking as a much thinner tubular type stainless manifold. I think the sheer mass of the cast manifold would also retain plenty of heat.

Completely different animal, It is a cast manifold vs welded tubular manifold.

Yeah, I found a publication by Caterpillar showing cast stainless to be far superior to cast iron in pretty much every regard.

I'm ready to order whenever these become available. Any word on anything addressing fueling? IE: Injectors or HPFP

Good deal, I'm extremely interested in getting my hands on a kit when they're available.

I'm intrigued by the "supports both stock and upgraded exhaust" post. Will the stock exhaust support that much power? Also, when I read Malone is releasing an emissions-compliant kit, I wondered if something bigger AND emissions-compliant was coming. It would be cool if their kit resolved cracked DPF's while maintaining emissions compliance.

Kerma already offers a emissions compliant tune (they are cali based so it makes sense) and they're Dyno figures are pretty impressive.
(I am in no way affiliated to Kerma btw)
EDIT:you are right stealth about the turbo kit being emissions compliant sorry for getting off topic

Malone offers an emissions-compliant tune, too. However, this thread is about a turbo kit that's also emissions-compliant. So far, I don't think a turbo upgrade that's emissions-compliant exists. That's why this is so interesting.

I'd personally like an option for an "not emissions compliant" setup
Like a different turbo, injector/fueling setup for the people who want more than what the Emissions compliant setup can get.

Of course that will be possible. The main component of this kit will be a "different turbo".

Yea, the next part is waiting to see the fueling options, and budgeting for a clutch. I'll test the limit of my OE clutch, but I think eventually with the increased torque/power I'll have to budget for a better clutch. We'll see.

I'd think the lower thermal conductivity of stainless vs cast iron would be good as well, in keeping the exhaust gas temps higher... (or should I say letting less heat energy leak out of the exhaust gas)

Was able to check out the protoype at SOWO this year. Very happy to see the stainless one already cast and hopefully being tested. In a mk6 now, would be very happy to add one of these to the car.
So these are going to be set up to work with factory located exhaust? Already have a 3in downpipe for the stock turbo. Although I do realize they would need a vband welded to the housing as the gtb's utilize a bolt on flange.
