Re:yay got my new mani...
its not an ss dude, when i first saw the pic i thought it was to but when it got to my house it is seriusly custom... on the ssauto the wastegate comes off the right side but on this one it comes on the left. that cut and reweld was jus to better align the turbo from the block... the flanges are way thicker then ssauto...

Re:yay got my new mani...

I think I would consider doing some braceing. just a thought... that turbo give me a hard on to. |

Re:yay got my new mani...
he only charged me 80 bux? i dont think its that much for a manifold. it feels a lot heavier then a ssauto, how much do those weight cuz this ones ------ heavy
|
Re:yay got my new mani...
:o $80 he could sell those for 100- and i think he would have no problem doing it....does he have one for a D series?
|
Re:yay got my new mani...
doubt it, he only sold it to me cuz he needed money to make his T4 mani for his ls-v turbo setup.

Re:yay got my new mani...
Don't kid yourself, that's an SSauto manifold that has cracked and been repaired. I remember some of the old school SSauto manifolds had the WG on the left, but it doesn't matter in this case because that entire section has been hacked off and re-welded. I'd hate to burst your bubble, but there is no way that is not an SSautocrap manifold. :-\

Re:yay got my new mani...
yeah i gotta agree that it started off as an sscrap manifold, it's obvious in the welds, how do you go from clean welds to big bulky welds, and plus I think ss's new like have flanges like that.
If it works it works, 80 bones it don't hurt. have you test fitted it yet? |
Re:yay got my new mani...
doing it tomorrow morning... i mounted up the turbo to it and held it up to my old blow motor in the garage and seems like it will all fit nice... sits close to the block so i hope it all fits... if it fits nice then gonna go ahead and finish the install so i'll be boosted again. hoping for a better outcome this round... if not then im going ballz out after this... gonna take pics through the install so i'll keep u guys updated
