    They are different.

    I think the s14 one is longer because they needed space for the pre-cat, but don't trust my word on it :(

    I know someone who removed the rail+injectors, placed them on 4 beer bottles, hooked up a vacuum cleaner onto the MAF and turned the CAS with a driller to trick the ecu.

    Hum, I checked back, and you wrote "740's on there way', not exactly "I have them", my bad.

    I'd put my money on the actuator, too.

    At first I would have suggested a popped off pipe, but you should hear the turbo spooling if that was the case.

    DEI is a good brand, I don't know for the others.

    I'd rather have a sr20 than an rb20, except for the 6 pot sound.
    The sr will be a lot cheaper to tune, if you go for an RB it has to be at least an rb25.

    Can't you fill the void with polyurethane foam ?

    Don't put too much at a time though, it will expand and could compress/deform anything around it if the expansion is contained.

    I've got them on my s13.
    The diff is really whiny now, and you sometime get a "clonk" on shifts.

    I wouldn't fit them again on a daily drive.
    But the rear is stiffer now.
