the wastegate placement looks really bad to me, being only off one runner.

I'm a big believer in well designed and constructed exhaust manifolds for the 3s when using a large turbo. However, that one doesn't look very well designed. I can't comment on the construction. If I were going to do this mod, I would do a full race or have someone like Carl Crawford make one for me. No sense spending extra money if you don't know if it will either (a) hold up; or (b) see significant performance gains.

i still cant justify spending close to $1200 on piping for a full race. have you seen the FR knock off, thought it seems to be just as nice. made by a guy in canada named jay for about $650? thats what id use for a larger turbo indeed. im jsut bringing this manifold to peoples attention. maybe 5sfters who want a t3/t4 without manifold adapters ect. much easier. of course there is better out there duh.... but this a very suitable manifold for moderate power goals.
i just like the fact that it is cast iron the most compared to a SSAC. This post has been edited by x_itchy_b_x: Oct 6, 2006 - 10:41 PM -------------------- |

now THATS a manifold.
i still stand by the statement that the first one you posted is a BAD design, john. having the wastegate plummed off the one runner is just a bad idea for boost control ect. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

thats exactly what is was thinking, of coarse it would slow it down but it seems like some exhaust would continue to flow through the turbine
and oh god i want that turbular manifold -------------------- |

The good point is that its made pretty solid. |
