Side note: I was pretty sure I posted this before, like 20mins ago, but when I went back to check, it was gone. Or I hadnt pressed the POST button. If it was deleted by a mod, thats cool, I can assume it is something to do with other traders and Im all cool with that. If not, then all I can say is cocaine is a hell of a drug.

I can 99.9% guarantee that all ebay manifolds well not bolt on. They'll require changing of the turbo flange, realigning of the angle of the turbo flange, realigning of the mounting bolts and possible changing of your engine mounts as some run very close to the chassis rail on soarers. You'll also need to get a custom dump pipe to suit which usually cost in the range of 600 dollars.

I know that a few people off toymods have used these Ebay manifolds. I think the main problem was that they sometimes crack the welds. But once you brace the turbo properly they seem to work alright.

For the money I think they may be worth a shot.

OHHH yeh Roguepi....


Lets see, I ordered an E-manage off him, which was faulty, so sent it back to him, 3 months later he finally sends me a replacement, which was the exact same unit (still faulty), and then I had to wait another 4 months to get my money back from him.

Careful who you deal with.

Thanks guys

re: Drifta32 ,I messaged him as you suggested a while ago brockas, havent got any response yet. Heard a few stories about rougepi too! I like how he cliams these are fabricated in Japan. If only I could believe it!

I don't doubt that all ebay type manifolds will require mods, just wondering which ones hold up over time. Dont mind doing the work, just want to make sure its worth the effort!!

Well the one I have is now 1 year old on the car and still working. Hasn't cracked once. I've driven the car a bit as well a lot in anger. The one I got is huge, it only just fits, and requires kazama engine mounts cause engine moves too much otherwise and manifold hits the chassis rail. Have no idea which ebay one it is.
