While browsing internet I found a "new" option for a turbo manifold. If we can really consider it an option to purchase a probably chinease made product.
Here is a link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Stai...-FE-/251998948162?hash=item3aac4ecb42&vxp=mtr#
I'm really considering purchasing one of these. My quest of turbo manifold is about there. LC performance is nice but besides being expensive, has the v band flange for the wastegate, and the one I have is the two bolt model.
I know KO racing is apparently quite good but too expensivefrom my point of view for a welded manifold.
My option at this point was to weld a log manifold myself. Then I came across this "new" one. It still cheaper than just the parts I need to weld mine.
I sent a message to the seller to ask him few questions. Material thickness and if the straightness of the flanges are controlled. He told me it was straight and the material is thicker than what he usually sell but... What is straight from someone who sells chinease stuff?? And no numbers given about thickness of anything. The seller said it's a notch higher quality than what he usually sells.
On the other hand, could it really be worst than if I'm welding one myself? Probably yes cause I don't make sh@t. But could it be the same probably yes also.
