not really, you can drill and tap that manifold fairly easily, just be patient and careful is all
but after further research I intend to use this Koso setup instead, fast response with peak and warning features, display is a bit odd but has a better visual while driving over a tiny 52mm round gauge. It has a good rotary engine reputation

Add me to the list! Finished installing my greddy kit last night. w/ fix #2,extreme PSI couplers/T-clamps, DIY oil return, Apexi BOV, and APw/ MM base tune . Put about 40 miles on it already. This kit was originally owned by DoubleGoose.

Now have 42000 miles (67000kms) on my Greddy turbo since it was rebuilt . While trying to find a boost leak I noticed that air is now leaking through the turbo itself . This created a boost leak in that my Breather was vented to atmosphere .
In the meantime I have re-routed the breather hose back into the intake so the leaking air is not measured by the maf.
There is also a little oil in the intercooler so not sure how much longer i should run it before getting it rebuilt again . Anyone have experience with this ?

Air leaking through the turbo seals under static conditions with no oil pressure is normal. Oil pressure and the turbo spinning helps seal during operation. Though if oil is leaking from it then it's time to get rebuilt.

Not a lot mind - nor is there much oil .Certainly not enough to cause any issues. Might well go on like this for some time without wearing out further - not sure .

I mangled my pinky finger (didn't know it was such an important little fella) so sending Turblown my manifold and turbo has been delayed but it will be done Saturday thanks to some fellow members who are going to assist me Saturday so I get everything back and get the car tuned in time for the Texas8.

Sort of, the alternator belt on Hoss-05's car decided to separate while I was resting my hand in the vicinity of the broken belt. When it broke it hit my pinky. Freak accident, but it could have been much worse. I have a couple of big cuts and I'll probably lose my pinky nail but it's all good.

This is not a static leak - boost is actually leaking into the engine through the oil line when the engine is running.
