I have nearly finished my 13bt conversion except one problem left.... The turbo and manifold are about 20mm to wide to fit in stock so I will need one custom made. Does anyone places that do them in the brissy area? Thanks.
I asked Mazfix which are always going to be the last resort because of price and they quoted around $650! |

$650... PHUCK... 2 exhaust ports to 1 turbo... how hard can it be..
buy some steam pipe bends & pipe cut them down get a manifold plate made and a turbo plate made tack it together and get it properly welded and I but it would cost under $300... and you can be sure it will fit..
I got a gemini turbo manifold made for $250 out of steam pipe the same way and it is working well after 3 years of service...
