| Briskodian | Re: Bought cheap manifold off ebay If its too good to be true it usually is, the unfortunate thing is people still buy it thus keeping the monkeys in business, It may fit, it may not one thing is for sure though and thats that it will last 5 minutes.

| Re: Bought cheap manifold off ebay Manifold is totally wrong as the exhaust and turbo will not fit onto the manifold. Don't even think it will even bolt on unless you take the engine out and leave it out due to clearance on the bulkhead. T3/4 fittment or something like that. |

I suppose you don't have to use all 4 bolt holes as your turbo only has 3. Oh and the external wastegate will come in handy if you standard integral wastegate gives up. Give it up.

| Re: Bought cheap manifold off ebay But aren't decats used by a lot of members on this forum? I have never heard of the cel light coming on. Oh the cheaper stainless manifolds tend to crack from what i have heard.
