Default Cast turbo manifold on eBay, Is this a new item? Wadya guys think?
Just saw this on eBay. Looks like someone is casting new HF looking manifolds with a T3 flange integrated. Any experience with these?

Cool.Perfect for a low dollar setup and as cheap as a HF and a adapter plate.Thread those 2 holes if there not and you can use a factory heatshield to keep it OE style.

Well pending its a descent cast, it definately elimanted the headache of an hf + adapter plate. Definately not a bad score, some people (myself included) just like the look of a tig weld staring u in the face when u pop the hood.
Either, way, good find by the Tuner with all the Toys
