#37172, "RE: stock manifold into a turbo mani. 'its cast' ???" In response to In response to 0
Ahh.. the stock manifold for a turbo..
#1.. think of it as a turbo HEADER, because it's VERY directional. Spool was almost instant.. sounds like a jet, MUCH louder than ANY turbo i've heard spooling on any car lately.
#2.. it will flow better than the log style manifolds
#3.. it puts the turbo in a BAD spot.. for several reasons...
a) Oil flow out of the turbo isn't very vertical into the pan. b) Need to loose the AC compressor c) Turbo is VERY close to the fans
#4.. only 2 studs to hold turbo to manifold.. didn't leak though
As for pics just incase your the guy that bought the painted stock manifold that was advertised as a turbo manifold on ebay..
My advice.. get a turbo header built.. check out pic's of ESR's turbo header.. stainless spaghetti mess..
Doin it yourself *ISNT* cheaper than buying a kit.. it may be less expensive, but not by far as reliable or as easy. What you save in $$ you more than make up in other headaches.
