Title: turbo manifold
Post by: 99gsrturbo on May 18, 2014, 03:39:27 AM: So my car must have been on the boats deck when being shipped over here, and my turbo manifold as really destroyed. It started to crack and Iâ€™m looking into a replacement until I can ship it back home to have it repaired since no one here has a welder. I was trying to stay with the ramhorn, but I have always had an equal length. Has anyone used a twisted ranhorn and if so what did you think. The only reason I would go with it is for the 50mm ports over the equal length one giving my 45mm.

Most of you know my setup but if it helps:
6262 turbo
stock sleeved bore gsr 11.0:1 comp
type r head all aftermarket
type r cams
3in turbo back exhaust
If you need more info ask.

I would get my own welder but i cant find a place to purchase the gas.

Contact the Spanish nog Walter, he can weld that.

You would have to send manifold to or go to Spain. :noel:

I would just pull it off send it to some shop state side that u trust and then have them ship it back. You would only be down like 2 weeks and maybe a little cash but everything would bolt right back up.
