Are you looking for one? I have a couple of more of them...
is it exactly the same dimensions as the plastic one?
AFAIK it is. I've gotten them off of both WRX and LGT engines...

How big's that tank? Does it have a bladder?

15gal

No bladder, since its an internal mount

It full of high density foam and baffles tho (to prevent slosh)

Switching to a smaller tube, 3/8" inch, and running it under the turbo inlet along the back of the block

For crying out loud, bro, you're scaring me! Practice FME. Foreign Material Exclusion. Cover that oil vent nipple on the block before you drop something in there and can't retrieve it, easily. Not lecturing, just a friendly suggestion. If it is not temporarily covered, how can you verify that somethng has not gone in there? Works for me.

Where did you get your Autronic, and where are you going to have it tuned?

Got my autronic from a local shop, having it tuned at Rocket Rally

and good advice :P

apparently canada doenst have the AWD Turbo restrictions that the Rally America has for rally in the US.

Im making up a second intake pipe with an intake restrictor in the future

Rather than using a restrictor plate, like most people do for ease of install/cost, I'm going to be using tapered exhaust piping to bring it down to the required dimensions, I think there's more performance to be had that way because it'll improve the laminar flow, rather than generating a bunch of turbulence and a low pressure zone right at the turbo inlet.

Hey Matt, i want one in addition to an in-take manifold for MY '91 BF 2.2l N/A. I wanna 'crinkle coat' it Red and I wonder how much it would be to have Extrude Hone? You still have a media blaster @ work?

Extrude Hone is expensive, IIRC, over a grand.

hmm the estimate i received for extrude hone for the intake manifold was only ( ha ha) $400
