Starks Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Told ya that eg dump would wear on you soon  For me, it eventually made me not even want to get on the gas. I had a little t28 that built boost quick so the lightest throttle.... BRAAAAAAAAP!  Car just screaming! I'm sitting there like jeez, I didn't ask for all that.  Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Yeah, I know that's an option too. I guess I'm not quite at the point of hating the noise. It is still fun but starting to wear thin. For me, I'd like to just tame it a little bit so it isn't quite so brash. I make a bet with myself everytime someone installs their first EWG, on how long it will be before they have the dump welded back into the downpipe or ditch the whole thing. I think the average is about 3 weeks. Slightly longer if single, can be much less if married!

Guess that makes me the exception to the rule.  Then again the fact that it's not a DD might exclude me from the "contest". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Do I get extra credit for holding out this long as a married man? Indeed you do! That's pretty tolerant.   I'm married and it's been over 2 years with the EWG. Guess that makes me the exception to the rule.    Then again the fact that it's not a DD might exclude me from the "contest". Mine wouldn't have put up with that for two minutes, let alone two years, but then she also doesn't ride in my car very often. The 'oh shit' handles don't give her enough sense of security. Maybe I have to upgrade those.   Sent from a device using some software.

ebo03 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Glad you made it though! You did a nice job summarizing ~60 pages into a few astute observations as well  As for the EWG header, ETS makes (or made - I don't know if they even offer it any longer) a header that is basically the stock design but with 2 wastegates on it, one tied to each set of runners. ebo3 is running this. It's a very nice design but it doesn't (or didn't) come cheap.  acumenhokie has a custom piece that was a one-off.  M1cha3l, SomeZero, and myself are all running the Six Star header (at least SomeZero was at one point). AFAIK, they are the only other shop that offers this so doing something custom is probably your other option. If you do want to consider Six Star, shoot me a PM.  Not sure if there are any others on here I've missed but the number of 5th gens with EWG are very, very low and options are very, very limited. ETS no longer makes a 5th gen manifold. I think the dual MV-S wastegates are very tolerable from a sound standpoint. In other news, the Baja will have an EWG within the next month.

acumenhokie Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Â Mine wouldn't have put up with that for two minutes, let alone two years, but then she also doesn't ride in my car very often. Â My wife doesn't either although she did the other day. Her comment was, "it doesn't smell as much like gas as it used to". Thanks e85! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackal8788 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Just wanted to jump on and say hello to all my 5th genners. I can't believe how much time has snuck past since I've been on here  In any case, I haven't got much to report. The car rolled past 89k about a week ago and is still running flawlessly. I will probably be putting my winter setup on this coming weekend but beyond that, there are no other plans for upgrades and (thankfully) no mysterious issues that will consume my time and liquid cash supply. Hope you're all doing well, my friends VF54 to 20G to VF54 to 18G build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE7 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Guys...I do appreciate the time and effort and information that has been gain thus far for all on the BM/BR platform. However, as we are in this thought of trend....for those of us, who has an FaceBook account...feel free to visit this dude that does 3D manifold creations; which is just beauty in my opinion, and staying true to form and fashion, he has done a 3D aftermarket manifold with the provisions for an 'EWG' and also to accommodate an BorgWarner EFR6758 Turbo. He has a total kit from Headers to Exhaust at a cost of USD $2,900. Yeah...It's hot, but it's very good quality. However notwithstanding the current Global situation...maybe whosoever would like to purchase a kit from him (iq_performance) maybe one can negotiate a better price.  Just want to share with the fifth Gen community. Regards, ICE7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
