Default What do you think of this turbo manifold?















Its made by milling two half's out of billet steel, and then tig welding it together. Tho whole manifold also comes with a ceramic coating.

Any opinions?

The turbo would be bolting up at an angle? Would you have room still? Once the turbo is bolted on?? Looks nice though.

looks like alot of work was put into it. but once you put the turbo on, it looks like the housings will touch the radiator(integra) and maybe for civics.

I can get one for around $400 excl shipping, it comes with a ceramic coating. Interresting design though? It looks very impressive.

Very interesting indeed but like everyone else is saying, it looks as though it will hit the radiator

Are you talking about a full radiator or those half size ones?

I met the guy who makes thoes, he is in calgary also. That manifold would probably flow alright but it looks redicuilous imo. i wouldn't put anything that looks like that under my hood...

That thing does look like a grill, I would no doubt cook a burger on it for FI.

It looks strong and more than likely performs similar to an inline pro. There is nothing special about the actual flow part of the design, it's the process how they are made that is unique.

However, it does look like it sticks out pretty far, but I'd like to see it installed.

Last time this was discussed the manufacturer said that the fins are for weight reduction, not heat disipation........
Would look cool on the Millenium Falcon
