Hey,

I had a manifold picked up quite some time ago (14b/16g flange) and now have a 57 trim garrett, 63 a/r. The flange on the turbo is WAY bigger than the outlet flange on the manifold, and originally I was just going to get an adapter flange, but I think it will mess up airflow quite a bit...

so...

I found this...

I'm just wondering if the wastegate placement is going to be prone to spikes? It is central on the manifold (good, correct?) but the tube does come out a fair bit on the manifold..

Will this do the trick?? (Yeah, yeah.. I know.. but a mini-ram, tubular, etc etc... It's a budget build folks.. nothing crazy, and nothing terribly expensive either... )

 

you should be fine. with log manis most people have to run elbows for hood clearance, especially when using the top wg fitting for an ebc.

FYI - changing the manifold may require adjustments to the downpipe, IC piping and possibly oil return (if you even have these components yet)

 

don't have those components yet anyways... so no worries... I figured it'd probably be fine...

 

i had one of those cast manifolds, they are pretty nice.

they could use a little polish on the inside to help gas flow, but other than that, they are solid.
