just wondering if anybody on here has tried the treadstone performance cast turbo manifold? if so what do you think of it? how is it holding up? how do they compare to a tubular one?

It's a log style with provision for an external wastegate. I thought it was only available for the 2JZ.

Iv seen it before looks like a exact copy of the hks cast manifold. I installed one on a budies Bimmer, quality looked really good and no problems after 10K

A lot of the BMW guys use Treadstone manifolds. They're pretty good quality. But, for our cars, there are MUCH better options. I wouldn't buy one.

For what it's worth, I picked up a Cartech log style turbo manifold for my e36 M3, and not a week later I hired someone to build me a custom tubular manifold because I despise the whole log style in general.

any specific reasons why you dislike the log styles? are there any benefits of the tubular over the log?

sry i didnt get back sooner with the link but looks like some others have already covered it.

picked up an intercooler from them a year ago and it is a top quality piece. I'd expect the same from their manifolds. Lifetime warranty doesn't hurt either.

Interesting. I didn't spot page 2...

That looks like a direct clone of the old HKS short runner, and that's a damn fine price for it, too.

Somebody should buy one and try it out! :D

i was expecting a much higher price for that one TBO.

The reason we asked for a link is because the only ones that show on the Treadstone site are for the 2J engine, not the 7M that comes in our car.

But IJ is right, that was still funny.


I was kinda reluctant to post that up though I seen some humor in it :icon_razz When I seen that there was a 7M manifold I about had a heart attack :aigo:
