Not tryin to piss in your cherios but they are prone to failing. Yes it may be stainless but it's very low-end chinese crap.

They're very hit or miss. I've had 3 of them. 2 cracked even though they were braced(and re-cracked in a differant spot afterwards lol), the other one went 3 years with out an issue.

For not that much more I'd go with http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CAST-TUR ... ccessories

There's also once place that sells a DIY ram-horn kit for ~$250 if you have some welding abalities

That Turbo manifold has a large flaw and is definately not very good as you look at where the blow off valve is placed its only going to be pressured by the 1 cyl as there are better manifold designs that locate that to run on 2 of the 4 cyls or also all 4 that kinda is kinda the bad one for where they locate it and dont get me wrong nothing wrong with it just not the best situation im probaly going to just end up sticking with the Hf manifold and go through bmc racing 45 for their adapter plate

Eeek! Damn dude that's not a blow off valve. Wastegate I think that's what you meant. But I do get what you're trying to say. Letting preasure out out off one runner. That will probably give you a possibility of over boosting. If anything I think the wastegate should be right on the middle or at the end of all the runners where preasure from all runners will catch the wastegate and will have a more accurate preasure release.

Yea thats what i meant i was rushing it and didnt think at all about the termonology.....
But yea i also agree with you thta the wastegate should be place where it is pressurized the best not just on one runner or two

Just giving a general idea :-p

If I were to boost again, I'd hit up go-autoworks for a manifold... or the guy on turbo d16 for the DIY ramhorn/log mani kit since I just got a Hobart Handler 140 mig
