I was recently looking in some thread and I read about a guy who was using a Neukin manifold with a tial 44mm wastegate and he had a problem with the wastegate runner staying welded. He said it had broken off a couple of times. I also heard rumors of this happening. But everyone i see using a 38mm w/g have no issues.

Is the weight that big of difference? Anyone else having this problem with the neukin manifold or any problems at all?

I am really considering one of these and i am going 44mm w/g but i don't want to have any issues?

Its either neukin if all checks out ok, or one-fab. Anyone got something to say about that decision? Or about one-fab manifolds?

Neukin and One-fab. This is not to bash on your products. This is souly to see if any problems are true and maybe to help you out with future manifolds.

Thanks in advance.

 

might just want to do a search and call them and talk to them personally )

alex neumann is a good guy @ neukin

 

no one else can comment?

 

I don't like the welds that Neukin uses....so I can see how a wasgate flange might crack with the weight

 

pm'd

 

Is there a company ya'll can recommend me? I realize full-race is the best but i don't have that kind of money. There are so many ramhorn companies now, i don't know whos good and whos not.

How is he bashing them? He was asking if the Neukin/44mm combo had widespread trouble. I didn't know trying to find info was bashing a company

 

why not contact the vendor, Ive seen hundreds of these posts in the years ive been here and it turns into a shitting contest

 

nuekin manifolds are top notch, and great on the wallet...there are plenty of 600+hp setups on this manifold...so quit with the he said she said bullshit

I understand its a "shitting" contest, but i am mainly here to hear peoples opinions and who has had problems. All the other threads where which manifold to get, i am here to ask what are the issues with some. And contacting a vendor doesn't help, you really think they are gonna say "my manifold is gonna crack, go with someone else"? No, they are gonna say theirs will be problem free buy my product.

 

FAB-WORKS.COM

 

i talked to the guy from fab-works. He seems good. He said something about his welds go 100% all the way through. Does neukin and all those other companies do that also?

 

krbfab.com, great guy, garanteed turnaround time or you get fatty discount, and nice on your wallet. ohh yea, lifetime warantee!!

it's called 100% penetration, it doesn't really matter if they have lifetime guarantee. If they offer lifetime guarantee that means they're confident that their product will hold up. 100% or not as long as it hold up it's all good.

it was just his opinion so no need to get all offensive.

 

i've got a neukin but i'm running the 38mm WG with no issues.

 

Neukin nothing but good news here.. Great guy and a great product..

 

I am a Dealer for Full Race and One Fab! Both are of the HIGHEST QUALITY and I have NEvER had any issues with either of these manifolds cracking EVER!!! They both use thick wall stainless steel and the welds are GREAT, as long asyou have a company using QUALITY Materials and doing a QUALITY job you will get a Product. I refuse to sell JUNK so I have selected my Products I carry based off of the BTES OF THE BEST!!! One Fab and Full Race


Edit:I do not have any EXPERIENCE with Neukin personally just FYI. Ihave never heard complaints on QUALITY for either of the brands I carry though

 

I have used the ONE-FAB Top Mount manifold on my car, we're also using the Turbosmart 48mm WG, which is by far is the heaviest out of all larger WG out there.

Here's a comparison pic of the Tial 44mm and Turbosmart 48mm.



I have never have any issues of cracking on the WG runner. We run the car very hard and I have busted a motor mount inserts, but the welds are all in perfect top notch shape.

One-Fab welds very effectively and uses thick 8 Ga Schedule 40 SS.
