i want to upgrade to an external wastegate so i can control boost better. currently, im using the HF manifold attached to a rhb5. ive come to the conclusion that i should switch out the HF manifold for a newer one with a hole for a external wastegate. ive been searching for awhile and i found this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742

from the looks of it, it looks like cast iron. i dont care about the bling bling factor, so if it rusts, i dont mind. ive seen a lot of OBX manifolds too, but from searching through here, they are nothing but crap, so im staying away from them. i just want some opinions on if i should go through and purchase this product, which is strictly for performance and not for show. if anyone has any other alternatives to turbo manifold, plz let me know.

loosk like a turbonetics cast manifold not a bad manifold to use

 

It's a DRAG/Turbonetics manifold or a copy.

 

yeah looks like a copy

 

For the price, you could go with a stainless steel log manifold. the manifold it for 3/t4 so it wont fit the turbo and you'll need a new downpipe

 

on the site, they say that it also fits T3's as well as T3/t4's. i asked the dude selling the item and he says that it should fit the rhb5's as well since they have the same adapter flanges. or is he wrong? i haven't the chance to compare the two turbos yet so anyone on here know if its true?

 

can you say boost creep!

 

For that amount you could find a much nice manifold. I just picked up the spoolin performance manifold. It looks and should perform much better than that one.
