Go ahead.  Buy an ebay tubular manifold......


1 in 10 seems to hold up great.

Like those odds?


Are you building a show piece or something you can actually beat on day in, day out?

YOU can use some engine bracket shit to bolt the turbo flange to so the weight of the thing isn't supported by thin gauge shit piping.



Really.  Look at china's infrastructure.  They use soda cans and cardboard as FILLER in "concrete" buildings.  Maybe that's just their way of controlling the population and later blaming it on "god".

Buy the boost brothers kit if your gonna buy any ebay stuff. It's made for an sn-95 but will fit a fox with very little modifications. I've got one of their kits on my own car making close to 500 hp and no cracks or issues yet and its been on there for a while and I'm not nice at all to my car.

My china boost brothers turbo is still working and has been on and off my car to diagnose another car with a bad turbo. Its still working but is getting replaced this winter. Having said that there is no more play than when it was installed. Still spins very easily and smoothly, but it begining to just leave an oily residue on the compressor side. Not enough to leave oil anywhere but if you rub your finger inside the housing you can feel that its there. But it is chinese so its probably hit or miss if they last or work at all.

I give it a few more weeks... then fail...

I have a turbonetics 76mm turbo here that I can use. My poor stock block is doomed. I'm gonna turn it up to 600 at the tires thru an aod this spring and let her rip (hopefully not in two).
