OBX turbo manifold
 

does anyone use one? seems good for the price, but how do the welds hold? i have the headers and they are fun, but i dunno how it will hander under the preasure? im only planning on running 8 psi. anyone?

Re:OBX turbo manifold
 

they crack, and paid $350 not a good price, for 1 month manifold.

i heard there decent if u brace it, but it seems like a hassel

Re:OBX turbo manifold
 

i have mine now for a couple of months now-not cracked yet and still pushing 8 lbs of boost-mine is braced-i guess i bought mine when obx started to brace it

Re:OBX turbo manifold
 

from what i have seen, they have shitty welds on the inside, and they crack under hi boost

Re:OBX turbo manifold
 

SO WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER HIGH BOOST? I SAW ANICE LIL PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES AN OBX MANIFOLD AND TIAL WASTEGATE FOR 450...SOUNDS GOOD TO ME BUT I DONT WANT IT IF ITS GOING TO CRACK ON ME.

Re:OBX turbo manifold
 

My friend used one for about one month, then it came appart, I mean in little pieces. But he was pushing 15psi on the streets and 20 at the track. So my oppinion is that if you plan on boosting more then 10psi, don't use it. 98ctr

Re:OBX turbo manifold
 

the problem is not so much the welds or the design or the craftsmanship.
It's the quality and thickness of the steel they use.
This OBX manifold broke mid collector (no weld there) and the waste gate port broke off away from the welds.

I guess its like the saying goes..

"You get what you pay for"

but damn... that ---- just broke the ---- off???? did it damage the turbo????

Re:OBX turbo manifold
 

same ---- happened to my SSautocrap when they used to sponsor me. The whole goddamn wastegate runner just fell off. Luckily the rubber hose held the TiAL or that ---- woulda gone right out the back of the car.
