so i decided to try out the cheapest mani i could find... figure what the hell, when it cracks its only $63 to replace.. but this thing is completely unusable.

turbine housing is literally touching bmc

yes those are brake lines

and this is the same turbo that was advertised with the mani, lol....

so looks like ill be going back to the treadstone.. id love a $$ one but im on a budget

no one buy cheap ebay manifolds!!

gotta make sure you do your research on what manifolds are legit before just buying something cheap.. I understand where your coming from. I too like to save money... but there are some things you cant cheap out on

damn....... 63 bucks? holy hell.

importdude · 03-29-2008, 01:24 PM

just get a jdm bmc

easy fix

u can also grind the turbo housing

wow that's cheap. How much would it be to get an on-center turbine housing?? If it's even available....

you got a sr20... as with anything for sr20, chances are that mani was probably copied from a RHD setup
