Turbo Mini Forums

or if theres a better option out there to buy a manifold.

thanks in advance

Matty is the man! He does an awesome traditional style and a high flow for the GT17. He's probably planning a new batch soon...here's his recent thread with pics...

thanks eric,
I did try finding that thread tbh, but with little luck.
those manifolds do look the shit but i literally havn't got a lot of money, poor student :(
personally i just like to mess around making things aswell so im quite interested in having a go more than anything. but i dont want to make a nice one out of the wrong stuff and have wasted all the time and money.

Are you already running a turbo? If not, then the manifold is not really the expensive part...

Lots of great info on the forum from junkyard builds to pro-quality stuff...

I've been reading for a year or so and still learn new stuff every day!
