due to the turbo leaning.....will this hurt the turbo? will it hurt performance? and the w/g location will it cause boost creep!!!

help me before i order

 

that is definately not a full race manifold!

i was waiting for you to say that

 

i think it looks nice

 

kinda funny

 

it's a CRFAB manifold..

 

Yea I'd say that is definitely not a FR manifold also.....unless they just started making ones that look nothing like the others and no one knows about it haha. I don't think it will hurt performance that badly though.

 

performance wise. dont think itll hurt. but longevity of turbo seals. dont think itll last too long.

 

Im guessing that manifold is a/c compatible. . . .

 

I think he intended on the FR to stand for ******* Retarded... LMFAO

Looks like it needs viagra, the turbo and WG have gone limp. HAHAHHAHA

 

That is a crfab manifold I just got mine .The one in the pic was his old style ac compatible his new one is placing the turbo more evenly .Ross makes really nice and affordable manifolds nothing against Full-race because they make unbelievable stuff thats proven to work but I just couldnt swing it with my budget.lol

 

by the way the turbo is positioned, it looks like you are going to get problems with the oil drain...might just kinda slump to one side and not drain all the oil, which will blow the seals in no time...why did they do the collector like that? clearance or something? strange.

 

the shaft should be parallel to the pavement. I think eventually seal problems will surface.

It's angled so you can get a 3" downpipe in there while retaining AC.

 

The welds look worse than my flux-core welds.

 

those welds look fine. they'l do the job.

 

yes but when you spend the money on a manifold you want the welds to look nice not what will get the job done.

 

Why would you waste money on something that is going to kill your oil seals. You 'think' that you saved money instead of getting the real FR

 

the most you can lean a turbo is 30 degrees before it will do damage to the seals, so if thats mroe than 30 degreesit wont last long

 

so performance wise it is ok but its not reliable.....should i just get an inline pro manifold???

 

well you could go with the inline pro but it is a different style and you may lose hp compared to the actual full-race

Wow, so now your manifold has to be fashionable if you want to be on the bandwagon.

Man am I ever falling behind with all this functional stuff I have!!

 

Forget fashion. The fact is that sharp corners cause stress risers that lead to fatique cracks. Pretty welds make manifolds last.

 

you can get very nice quality full-race style manifolds that do not tilt the turbo for good prices

 

What I thought the first time i saw this manifold is where are you going to find a down pipe to fit it?!?
