New Intake manifold?

[jongvr4]

Has anyone here given this manifold a try? It looks like a solid design, and works with a q45 t body. I don't know how large the plenum volume is, but the runners are a bit short. The quality looks very nice, and it does have velocity stacks, for what they are worth on a turbo car. Here is the link, tell me what you guys think.

BTW, I don't care where it is made, because I know someone is going to knock it for that very reason.

That's asking the air to do an even more agressive turn for #4 cyl.

I've seen that manifold design elsewhere on a honda, wish I remembered where.

I only see one vacuum port for the brake booster. What about the boost gauge, BOV, and other things that need vacuum.

Looks alittle like the ADFX manifold in the parts catalog on this site. The ebay one looks to have shorter runners though.

It looks to be of good quality. My only problem with it would be the price. At $450, it rivals the JM Fabrications intake manifold which is far more proven and a much safer choice. But who is to say this manifold wont outperform the JM manifold, if someone has given it a try id be interested in their experience.

I would like to see a picture of the velocity stacks. Other then that it looks like a quality piece and has an original design. Atleast to the dsm world.

This design most def has been discussed before on here. This came out months ago. The warranty on it is horrible. You only have 30 days and it has to be "Brand New" in order to return plus a restocking fee. Thats BS if this person ever wants to become a loyal seller.

Ah, so it's an ebay item. That means it was copied from something real overseas and sold to someone like ssautochome (not a company, just some guys ebay name) for 80usd and sold to us for a retarded markup. Quality is bad because it's welded by a 11 year old boy and no chance on sending it back for anything because it cannot be resold to another sucker.

Best of luck to anyone willing to buy this shit.
