Anyone heard of/used these?

Was just having a nose at what turbo manifolds can be had for, they've got them for about 300 and the design is different to the DP ones etc, rather than coming up and straight down so the turbo would sit where the standard mani-cat would sit, its off to the (passenger) side. Never having built a turbo saxo i wouldnt know, but maybe these would be easier to work with re oil filter, or may be a pain in the ass re downpipe?


Just wondered if anyone had used them and if so what was your experience like?
Sorry my explanation of shapes and the engine bay isn't very comprehensive!

Best thing is to type it into the search engine on the performance section.If it's a well known brand then there will lot's of references to it.

all I would say is the DP manifold is over kill --no point at all in having bunch of bannanas on a turbo --unless its an absolute full race and using mega rpm -name me any production car at nay bhp that has anything other than a very simple cast iron manifod--DP is all about looks
fiiting over th gearbox could keep heat radiation down to both altenator ,oil filter and water cooling rad --so yes it could be a better ideaanyway and give more space at front

Thanks guys.
As you say it's too fancy - give me function over form any day.
axsaxoman i might have to pick your brains at soem point, just on various threads re turbo applications you seem to know your stuff!
