For all you noobs out there. DON'T BUY CHEAP CRAP. I bought a custom turbo manifold and I'm having issues with it now. One of the studs FELL OUT and not I can't seem to fix it. Now I have a custom DP and IC piping and am going to have issues when buying a REAL manifold.

Don't buy shit and pay TWICE. Buy the right part the first time around. GOD I wish I went with a Chill Factory kit in the beginning instead of dicking around like this.

Well at least yours came with studs, lol. Mine didn't have any. Made mounting the turbo a very interesting endeavor. Who knows how long mine will last.

UPDATE-
Well, let me put it this way...I drove home from SilverNT's place with only TWO studs holding the turbo in place! It seems like the inside of my manifold is deteriorating.

I'm keeping in contact with Chill Factory and I'm hoping I might just end up with the first Chill Factory kit for the 2gnt}(

Wish me luck

Who did you get the manifold from?

Motofool had them made by lazerous in Utah.

Funny thing is I was just talking about heat expansion and how manifold builders keep that expansion in mind when designing a manifold...

apparently not! i can vouch for brian on this one, that turbokit has given him nothing but problems. seems like whoever made it used very cheap steel.

those lazarus manifolds hurted me a lot
I lost a few sales because they were cheaper and easier to make
Some peoples were even mentioning some of my clients as Motofool's ones

I'll keep you guys posted. All I know is it's NOT worth it to go the cheap route.

I'm going stainless TIG welded EVERYTHING made by people who know what they are doing.

I can tell you guys right now I coulda easily bought the estimated price of the Chill Factory kit or Hahn kit with the money I've spent going the "cheap" route.

I want a stainless equal length manifold. They look soo pimp. But as always, you get what you pay for. Sorry to hear you got janked on the cheap route. Maybe the mani had some type of warranty? Goodluck bro and keep us updated!

sux Brian. seems like one problem after the next. Good luck with it man.

please do not confuse one of lazerous's manifolds with alain's complety different materials and design.

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.
