Buying parts for my homemade turbo setup and I've run into a problem. Should I buy a manifold that is designed for a t25 and possibly an external wastegate, even tho I would like to stay with a internal wastegate cuz i'm on a budget but if a manifold with the external flange would be better than i can just save longer

OR

should I buy a hf manifold, port it and get an adaptor plate made.

cost wise the manifold made for the t25 will prob b like 100 bucks more but I'm leaning towards it becasue ti will be a better seal and more reliable IMO becuase there isnt a steel plate between the turbo and manifold.

I've been searching for some manifolds that are made for t25/t28 but havent came up with much. maybe i'm just looking in the wrong places...

does anyone have any experience with either type of manifold and maybe some pics?

 

i dunno a hf manifod with a bmc adapter plate el run ya 80 or so and work perfectly

 

 

get a standard manifold, no porting nessesary.
