cast manifold and replace the turbo asap, some are good others will fall apart in your hands and the seals are DOA sometimes too
for what? he asked a question and that was if he should pick the cast or aluminum manifold, I said go for the cast one, for the reason that the aluminum ones are known for cracking, and the cast ones aren't. then I told her him replace the turbo when he can because they are cheap knock offs and held together by glue? I'm not going to try and talk someone out of what they want to buy so, unless you're going to give any actual answer to what he asked, you should shut the fuck upYeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and tell you to shut the fuck up...
@riceracerrex - you are the first person that i have ever heard of that hasnt had problems with an ebay tubular mani
buddy of mine has had one for about three months and its been welded numerous times, hell its mostly weld bead by now hardly any stainless left. if you can even call it stainless
its not necessarily the welds, but the metals they use3 Months? So the manufacturer did not know how to weld and then after it was re-welded it, it cracked again? What the fuck man? I am glad that I've never had that kind of luck with ebay. I guess it's a game spinning the wheel and hoping for quality products. I would recommend using all the expensive parts too but that would make me a hypocrite.
ive seen the kits on that site, theyre definitely better than a cheap-ass ebay setupgo to vecco.com and check out there kit. all the important stuff if dependable brand names, but the inter cooler and pipes look like the ebay stuff so you save some money there. not bad for around 1800 plus shipping
you want to risk having bearing shavings from the turbo going through your engine? wowthinking about doing something like this myself, mainly only ebay stuff will be the turbo, intercooler and piping, and downpipe. Everything else name brand to make upgrading the turbo the only thing after its all installed. hopefully i'll be one of the lucky ones that has a turbo that lasts longer than a month
