You know I wonder if another company makes manifolds with the 3” v band connection that will fit this turbo.

TheSandman_M2 yep I’m still waiting for the new ones as well. The reinforcement didn’t hold up under load with the new tune I’m assuming?

We didn't get past the base tune, never saw over 20-21 psi. It just cracked at the next weak spot, sucks. So if you have this turbo DON'T install unless you get the updated manifold. I'm waiting on an eta for a new one.

Any luck getting a new manifold? My installer got an email saying they have one for my RMA. So hopefully I'll have one soon.

Dear SandMan, my name is Cesar I’m new at forum, I’m from Brazil and I’m bough last week the CTS Boss turbo for N55 to my M2 N55 2017, I’m stating the process of import and I’m was send a message for ECS tuning (website of I buy it) to ask about new manifold I related your problem for then and ask if mine will coming with a release model. So my question for you friend are: Do have any problem for install at your M2 ? Do you make any adaptation? Please let me know will help me a lot friend. Please share with me your installation or problems. Best regards friend and thanks for your attention.

Hey Cesar, I had my turbo installed at a friend's shop. They've had to pull it out twice now. Once for the oil line leak then again for the manifold. So if I were you I'd upgrade the oil line and I wouldn't install it unless you got the new manifold. Other than that I think running the lines can be a little tricky. Who's doing the tuning?
