I personally think the wg placement on the Lovefab is the best.

I think Muckman is saying it is the best for fitment purposes, not performance. With the love-fab it is off to the side where as the other designs protrude forward into the radiator/intercooler area.

whats wrong with the lovefab wg placement based on performance.
it looks good to me because of the the collector is angled and the fact that the flow goes into the wg before the turbo

looks like you could never upgrade turbo's with that gate placement...the compressor housing would hit it.


i'd go with the full race divided twin gate manifold....

ive taken a look at full-race, afi, lovefab,peakboost,and tdautowerks in the past im personaly a fan of afi and full-race but they all seam to be quality pieces that hold up i would got with full-race bc personaly they impress me with the seams that are roboticaly welded as a welding student im very picky on wat i would call a near perfect application of technique, and consistency but full-race is worth the money to me the main thing about the single wastegate though iv never known a close friend that used one but i would jus be concerned with low boost bc ive seen that prob on a h22 with the tial 60mm wg recently couldnt stop the creep under 18lbs with a gt4094 jus fyi

haha Something tells me he isn't looking for a t4 based manifold not to mention twin gates. I personally don't like how the lovefab manifold isn't flanged directly off the collector but who the hell am I to critique their manifolds. Full-Race manifolds have been proven time and time again. Wastegate placement is fine on their topmount. If it had been an issue over the years they would have remedied it after several complaints from customers of creeping issues.

So that means my assumption was false. If thats the case get the twin scroll, dual gated Full-Race topmount.

Correct on the flow. The location is pretty good for flow into the WG.

What he said. No first hand knowledge with installing the lovefab manifold either so I can not recommend or dismiss fitment issues, but speculating based on the picture.

everyone here seems to be on full races n*ts for what its worth yeah its a good turbo manifold but its not worth spending that much money on that manifold when you can by manifolds from other companies that do the same job and hold up as well. all my cars that I build for myself and for customers i run nothing but neukin manifolds. they are extremely durable and i have not had one crack on me or show signs on weakness yet. and for the money that i saved on purchasing one of he's i was able to throw it where it really counts like in the turbo or motor. the only real thing anyone can say is, choose wisely end result is, its your car and nobody else's. just telling you straight up.
