the only pictures i have are the 10 that are broken in half or the other 10 i had to temporarily weld back together.

i made 2XX hp on a B motor with one, but then the turbo shot about 4 quarts of oil a min. into the intercooler piping.


pretty good products

it goes from the turbo that is mounted to the manifold. it connects at the turbo and vents the exhaust coming out of the wastegate back into the downpipe. people with external wastegates do not have them. your downpipe fits at the end of that peice

Thank you very much. I have the external wastegate , no wonder I don't have one. Also, I can't seem to find if this manifold will support a T4 turbo? Isn't it supposed to support a T3, T4, or a t3/t4? Thanks.

Damn it . So the only turbo that can be run with this car is a t3 turbo? I can't change the flange or anything?

Anything with a T3 exhaust flange, so any T3 or T3/T4 frame turbocharger. With tiny runners and a tiny "collector" you're just going to cause a bad flow disturbance trying to put a T4 flange on it. And for the cost of modifying it and still having the high chance of cracking, you might as well go buy a better T4 manifold.

we put a xspower kit on my brothers car. manifold, t3/4 turbo, and wastegate. everything ran great. and made good power. I did notice that the head flange was slightly warped when we got it, but after bolting it on and letting it heat up, it straighten itself out. nothing has cracked or broke with any components. we were very satisfied with their products.

I "had" the ram horn, and on the wastegate flange I could fit 4 finger in the hole, and by the collector, I could fit 3 fingers after 1 week.... Only on 5 lbs. , but now I moved on to bigger and better things... got rid of it all...

I tried learning about bracing the manifold but couldn't get any help. Can someone please direct me with a link or something? Thanks in advance.

Just weld on a brace to some custom bracket or something. Nothign really too difficult. If you brace the turbo, everything will be coo - don't brace the manifold necessarily.

So the brace should be welded onto a custom bracket on part of the chassis? Also, what do you mean "don't brace the manifold..." Should I have one end of the brace hooked to the turbo and the other to the chassis? Sorry for being a newb, just trying to learn . Thanks.
