1.8 DOHC BP Turbo Upgrades
The time has come, after this weekend we will finally have a bolt on turbo and manifold for our cars! This manifold is designed for the 90-94 Protege LX, and will bolt up to the 91-96* Escort GT.
*95-up EGT will require custom oil/coolant lines.
I have received the turbo's and on Saturday I will be taking the race car in for the final design. We will also be making a downpipe, cold air intake, and possibly an intercooler system for them.
I have posted some pics of the two available turbo's on my website under the "BLT Products" section. More to come after the weekend.

The manifolds are going to be $400. The bigger manifold for the t3/t4 is going to be $600. We are looking into getting the T3 manifold cast after the first production. Not sure if it will lower or raise the prices. We are looking into it.. The manifold is done today, I'm going up there to take pics tonight. It'll be bolted on to the motor its derived for

By the way guys, the turbo manifold is done. Our first one is a one off for a customer and has a external wastegate setup going on soon. The T3 manifold is jigged up and ready for production next week. I have some pics of the T3/T4 manifold with a hybrid turbo on it and a T3 on it. I'll try to get them up tomorrow after work.
