Ordered a manifold to use on my project... it was of horrible quality. The welds looked like they would crack and break easily. If the rest of their kit is like that... well that's a bad thing. You can always order it and judge for yourself, just be careful of what their return policy is

where have you guys been? turbo performance has had a turbo out for our cars for about 6 months now. there are like 5 cars that have gotten their turbo there.
as for the carbon fiber car, it was alberts car and it was from fiber images which explains for the carbon fiber body. last time i heard, he was selling all of it for like 4 grand or something.

I recently got my manifold and it was made out of CRAP! The wastegate portion of the manifold was all... I don't know? They basically took no care in making the manifold . It was all full of burs and ****, I had to clean it out with my dremel, it took me 3 hours! ... i would not purchase a full kit from them... [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

Dynamic Turbo makes custom manifolds for any car and they look pretty good. There was an article in speedoptions.com about it a while back. if you search in speedoptions.com i bet you can find it. best of luck

You should consider Stafford Fabrications out of Lancaster, CA. (661) 945-5352. They build great manifolds, and re-designed the turbo kit on the fiber images car after turbo performance worked on it. Even better though, they have designed a fuel system that will work with an FMU and FPR without any need to modify the factory injectors, ecu, or no-return fuel line. Its just an accessory add-on for the fuel system, that increases fuel accordingly with the manifold pressure. I noticed nobody could recommend a decent kit, but this one i think is your best bet. He built all of the turbo stuff on my prelude too. I tried attaching the pic, but its 54kb, so its too big. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] You can email me for the pics though if you want.
