I after a side mount manifold for my turbo build and the two companies that do them what I have seen are fusion fabrications or bagsport.

What one would people recommend? I have not seen much about bagsport.

Thanks

TCK also does them - i think?

I've got a bagsport manifold and I've been impressed with the work!

Matty from fusion made one for me along with the full exhaust system suited for a TD04 on my 1460.
It's a lovely set up with great results.
Top fella is Matty 👍

Another vote for Matty/Fusion. Mine has been on the car for about 12 years, and coped with a lot of heat.

'Where does the engine go?'

I spoke to Alex TCK he does make them but mainly one offs for something custom.
Is there a reason why all the side mount manifolds are steel and not stainless Steel?

Thanks

Oh yeah just realised that. I have seen a couple of them ceramic coated so I assumed they were steel.

Why? Ceramic doesn't stop mild steel from rusting.

OK thanks for all the replies. I decided to go with the bagsport manifold. I also did not realise they are only about 1hr drive from me. I have ordered one for the gt1752 turbo
