Trying to figure out if I can use my AC with this mani in my integra. I bought it used and the person I bought it from didn't know if it was or wasn't as they didn't have A/C to begin with. I had read on here that AC compatible manifolds would have the wastegate come off at a 90* angle, but no other info was given, so I don't know if this is for sure. This is a Pfabrications mani. Thanks in advance.

Im going to say no it wont work, the wastegate position doesnt really matter...If you have the exhaust side of the turbo towards the driver side you wouldnt have a down pipe to fit, if you go to the pass side I think the inlet side of the turbo will hit, atleast with my ramhorn and turbo combo theres no way I can have ac..

FYI im running neukin ramhorn with 60-1 turbonetics

Thanks, that's what I thought, but I read the post about having the wastegate come off at an angle bieng AC compatible (didn't know what that would have to do with anything though) and thought maybe I just missed something. I know Pfab makes an AC compatible mani, but they don't have a pic on there website. Owell, I guess I'll keep looking for ways to cool me down in the summer that don't involve rolling the windows down, LOL.

no its not ac.

and the way the wastegate is ran, it prob wont even be compatible with your car because itll put the wastegate into your radiator .


hit us up for a ac compatible ramhorn/downpipe package

Ya its your car, but for me I would rather have a ramhorn making more power, than a log manifold probley makingg less power with ac...It's not like your flordia or anything lol

AC ramhorns usually have the WG come at more of an angle (port is off to the side), and the collector usually puts the turbo at a slight angle. Turbos can take about 15* angle with the ground. The comp is usually on the passenger side, with a very tight downpipe.

Thanks for all the info.
