Turbo Manifolds

[andyyy]

Seen some turbo manifolds on ebay but are expensive ones -

I like the look of this one :

But i also have manifold and cat from when my car was 1.1 for a mk2 random pic


I can weld and fabricate but can this be used to create a decent manifold for the turbo or will it be crap is it too restrictive?

Are there any manifold off other car's that will line up with the turbo and the engine with minimal/no modification ?

Don't need fancy manifold for turbo cars really, at most ppl's level of tune

Can make mass power on a pretty basic manifold if you wanted to

Thanks thats good to know so getting a £300 one like at the top is pointless apart fron itll look pretty damn nice, are there any cars that will have a similar manifold that would be less work/look nicer to adapt ?

[andyyy]

Are these the correct measurements to make the manifold to turbo plate to?

[tweeqd]

depends if you run a t2 or t3 flange

[andyyy]

best to get the turbo first then ?

[jones91]

Yep pretty much, then once you have the turbo then you get the flange that fits flush to the turbo

My t25 will be for sale soon, ideal turbo for a Saxo


I've just been offered a gt25 off a mate so will be collecting it tonight
