Turbonetics Manifold

[Fusion1984]

Hey guyz, got a few quick questions about the turbonetics manifold:

1) will this bolt right up to my 16g that I just got?
2) is this a good performing manifold or am I better off just getting my stock 2G one ported.
3) anything else I should know? sorry for the dumb one

Thanx in advance for any help that you can give me. By the way, I LIKE THE NEW SITE!!!

1) No it's a T3 flange, not even close.
2) Yes it is a good performance manifold however not any better than stock. A ported 2G will work just as good but is not as pretty. A turbonetics manifold would only be used over a stock when your running a turbo that does not have a mitsu style flange.
3) If you do get it you have to port it out a lot to make the runners line up and do a lot of work to the collector as well. I have pics if your interested in what I did to make mine work.

Can you send me pictures of your port work on yours. I just got mine last week and will be ordering the turbo here on the 7th.


As for the original question. Fushion answered it. the reason I went with a turbonetics over a Tubular one is because every tubular manifold I've seen or had has needed repairs all the time on the welding, etc.


My Archer SS Manifold - lastest 1 month before the Turbo Flange welds cracked and no-shop would repair it.

I was a bit disappointed in the SFP T3 manifold my Friend has on his car. After 1000 miles he's had it crack twice now. (1st time he had to have the wiaste gate runner re welded as it fell off, 2nd time the turbo flange cracked and the turbo dropped down). Up until this point I'd only heard good things about SFP Manifolds. But after this descided I'm going "Cast"

Had the same thing happen to mine, Agp Replaced it in a heartbeat, Ceramic coat it, it will never happen again
