It does look identical... funny thing is the ebay pictures show the wastegate flange orientation 90 degrees from where it is, but the actual delivered manifold looks the same.

Assuming they aren't from the same batch... that seems to be the nature of manufacturing in china. As soon as they build something for one customer, it's available to everyone.

I heard somewhere thats driftmotion orders the China one and ports/cleans them up. At least that's what I've heard.

Either way for under 300 that's not a bad deal. I may add some reinforcement and header wrap it

I'd called Aaron on the matter of the manifolds before and IIRC he said he does order them as a batch from china but he's made some changes when he orders them such as moved divider and the wastegate flange location/clocked correctly.

That's what I like about the new header I got. The wastegate flange is actually in the right spot and rotated correctly. I ordered a gillet turbo exhaust housing for the hx35. Its a divided 12cm (.89) ar non wastegated housing with a short 3" vband outlet. Should give me even more room for a downpipe

You'll have to weld on a 3" v-band as the one on there is 2 5/8". I was just going to get it turned in the lathe then slip fit a steel v-band on and weld it in place.

Hmm. Sounds easy enough. I think I have a couple extra steel 3" vband flanges laying around too.

On a side note, looks like I'll be picking up aem v2 30-6050 with adapter harness and a 7m base tune!

Aem tru boost and oil pressure gauge are all ready to go in the gauge cluster

I also welded a 3" vband flange to my exhaust housing. Not too bad for a harbor freight welder. Even though I don't see it, I went ahead and polished the wastegate cap.

Might try polishing my extra pair of valve covers but I'm not sure yet.

What hotside were you on before? Im on a 18.5cm and its killing me, looking for something smaller. I might have to bite the bullet and pay the 250 like you did

Yeah there is tons of room for a downpipe now

I'm not 100% but I think the stock hx35 housing I had was .82ar the 12cm. With he 62mm wheel it was full spool at 4400rpm
