Default TURBO MANIFOLD by Turbo-perfomance in Van Nuys cali.

This is to good to be true....I found these guys in the back of turbo magazine...they seem very professional and claim to do a lot of business...yet I really have never heard of anyone saying anything about their products.

I believe FFgeoff is selling his or maxrev's manifold for just around $400 which is of great construction, so why not get his?

They don't come polished but I think it looks better polished than coating it, but coating probably does something, but Im not very educated on that yet, hehe

back to the original topic...

since I am off work today, I decided to to run around doing some errands and getting some parts and all...and I happened to be in the area of turbo performance...
so I called information and got their address..and went there...
they're very nice and cool guys...really smart too.. I actually was talking to those guys for a few hours and checked out their work area in the back where they made their manifold. Honestly, I am not too big on their manifold, but considering their prices, they're pretty good..it's basically an egual lentgh design all to a 4-1 collector and they weld the WG flange right before the collector..

they claim that they don't have any issues with fitment. they place the flange to the turbo a lil lower than regular cast iron flange, which can explaing their statements..

but over all they're very proffesional and I'd assume very nioce to deal with..

I've been to their shop too. They build turbo manifolds for several different car makes/models. Their reason for the slightly smaller runners is that the inner diameter matches the exh port size (making for smoother flow, i guess).

i'm looking for a b series manifold right now, and their's is definately one i'm considering.

btw the material is mild steel.
