That is entirely too much turbo for only 300. It has to be painfully laggy.
Eh alittle painful, but it's alright. My main focus was high end power and the fact that the car was only going to have a stock set up for like 3 months or so I wanted to see how it would be. I get boost around 4K.
I've seen those manifolds on eBay with their matte piping and shiny welds and I've always been curious. Especially since they claim to use sch40 material and welds that actually penetrate lol. I am interested to see how it holds up.

Don't..just .... don't...you're talking outside of your thoughts again....think about the long run.... Just..stop..
Ebay? Quality? Have you been sniffing the modeling glue again? Hehe
The manifold is used and its holding up. Was on a built lsv set up.
Yes. Great. Cool. You're a lucky one thus far. It's your car so you know what you're getting into (to a point).
That doesn't mean it's a good rule of thumb for newbies and numbskulls to follow.
I mean, we're proud of you and all, and I'll say the usual, "Keep it up, mate!! " just to show emphatic support, but c'mon, don't let this spread like the damn eBay "turbo review" that got lobotomized.

WARNING to the newbies.. I am one of you, watch me make the mistakes before you make them. Lol
My "new" RC 750's. got em for 100. Dude said they were just clean by boost labs in tampa. Now I can go back to get the car tuned fully.. Will prob take videos and stuff... stayed tuned.
I never said I wanted one lol. I'm just curious to see if it holds up to their "uncrackable" marketing tactics.
It just appears to be mild steel that is TIG Welded. Now what type of mild steel would be my concern... if it's A500 or A53 it should be good enough. Plenty of manifolds are built from carbon steel.
So my dizzy took a ****. Seems like the bearing was going out and the coil was dead. Looking at rich porter dizzys and they seem to work fine. I know oem is the way to go but I can't see my self spending 350+ for a dizzy. Anyone have info on these dizzys?
So went to the dyno yesterday, made a whopping 203 at 6lbs. thats pretty ******* sad.. is it a tuner problem or is it because of the turbo? dont have a dyno sheet, shouldve taken a pic. thoughts?
