Stainless steel turbo manifold

[Wayne G.]

There are 3 or 4 of these currently on Ebay ranging from $149 to $400.
Is there much gain to be had from these. Just looking, they apear to be better flowing than the stock item maybe this is not so. Anybody use one
of these? Are there issues with fitting etc.? Is there much improvment in HP?

Second, from what the masses say - don't waste your time.

The welds crack, they aren't 100% welded, and the flanges are warped.

Port out the stock one and enjoy.

Should we link the guy to the Supra Forums thread where the guys sent the manifold to a metalurgist and found it out to be really 321 SS....and it was pretty good quality for the buck!

I am buying one....simple as that.

Its the BEST bang for the buck out there. So if you wanta cheap way to get big HP out of a TO4 turbine....go for it!

Heck, anything is better.

Just get a reliable turbo and keep your EGT's down and wrap the manifold in some heat wrap from DWI or someting...that will keep it from cracking.

oh, and weld some supports under the manifold....keeps the weight of the turbo pressing on the manifold flange...so its just not hanging there while the metal is at 1000 degrees.....thats where crackng occurs

siman i bought one from custom chrome and the quality although not outstanding was simply astonishing for the money although i have cut mine up to just use the flanges and make my own inners
but for the money they are spot on so if no one has seen one and are saying they are shite to jump on the band wagon then your wrong.
siman go buy one :naughty:
