i have a full greddy turbo kit (with a cracked manifold)
and 3 days ago got my whole turbo rebuilt
i was wondering if i got a drag manifold would it bolt right up and still be able to keep my a/c (if i got a wastegate block off plate, of course)
i have the 18g turbo and dont plan on switching kits anytime soon thats why i want just a replacement

 

No. using your drag manifold will not work, as it is made for external gate and T3 flanging, while your turbo is T2 flanged. Fix the Greddy and upgrade the dp if you really want to keep the kit.

 

greddy is t25
but what about this

plus the manifold has been rewelded once
and once your manifold is cracked its kind of a domino effect with the same manifold

 

It is completely up to you, but you don't know where that manifold is going to place the rest of the downpipe and other hardware you have with your Greddy Kit. I would see about a repair first, as I've had some of them repaired (takes a lot to screw them up, so perhaps you got it used.) without any issues.

I wouldn't trust that $79.99 stuff at all. there's something to be said by that. It just doesn't sit right with me, but.. that's just me.

 

hks made a b-series t25 cast manifold almost identical to the greddy, they can be had for fairly cheap if you can find one.

 

^^^ True, but they haven't been around in a while. Hopefully he can find one.
