Right now I have a CRX hf manifold with a adapter plate and a TDO5 turbo. I was thinking about going with a SS tubular mani and a t3/t4 turbo. A guy told me that I was better off with the cast iron and the t3/t4 would take for ever to boost on my D16A6 in my 91 Civic. My question is how much boost can the TDO5 put out? I know the t3/t5 I was looking at put out about 25 max. The kit isn't installed yet, I just got a good deal on it so I jumped on it. The turbo manifold is from http://www.SSautochrome.com Are they any good? Any help is appre. Thanks, Doug

A tubular manifold can be just as strong as any cast iron manifold, however you can bet your bottom dollar your hf manifold is a hell of a lot stronger than the tubular manifold ssautochrome sells. How do i know, cuz i had one. People have problems with them falling apart all the time. Abaz had a friend who ran one and it only ran strong until he re welded the manifold to strengthen it. However if your just planning on slapping this manifold on and running it, you may run into problems. The gauge of the metal is really thin and the welds although they look pretty, there are many problems all over it. However that is not to say that a cast iron manifold cannot crack, because that is exactly what happened to my revhard.
