ok i will be needing a custom exhaust turbo manifold soon and was wondering if anyone knows the average price to get one made, a mate of mine does them regularly but he seems a little pricey.

i bought that of glen, its worth about $800 i think he said. but if u can weld or know someone who can (tig is the best) u can just buy the bends and weld it up yaself. my mate made one for his fj20 200b for $200

Yeah good tuned length ones will cost from $500 up. Usually about the $800 mark. You do get what you pay for.

Yep $650- $800 for a mandrel bent steam pipe manifold from any good exhaust shop mine cost $700. However you can get it made out of different material which would make it cheaper.

The turbo not to be nosey by any chance is not a T3/4 Hybrid ehh??

just thought for better flow you may use the split pulse headers,

i was considerin doin the same turbo with split pulse but havin trouble bendin all that shit in a cramped space, for the runners to match the ignition timin (better response)

but i will not give up, for more news, im gettin RedTG back, to putt around in, woopty woot!!

regards

nah, hi flowed to4 with external waste gate.
split pulse manifold on a normal turbo wont make any difference.
