cast exhaust manifold with wastegate or wastegate in adapter ?

[98MitzuGST]

basically wondering if anyone has used these and witch one would be better to use? just general pros and cons of each.

Definitely not the adapter, that would really throw off the positioning of the turbo and would mean you'd need a custom downpipe and so on. I've never seen that exact manifold in my life, but many people run ewg off of the manifold.

I personally like it off the o2 housing. I don't believe there's any performance differences. I could be wrong. But I think it looks much cleaner on just a bolt on setup.

yea the manifold is an ebay part but i figured how could they mess up cast? and yea id love to have that extreme psi recirc one but i dont have the coin to drop for one.

and yea good point ill prolly go with the manifold, never really crossed my mind how it would move everything down

If you know someone who can weld, easiest way would be getting a flange and having it welded to the stock manifold. I would trust that over any ebay manifold.

yea but i dont really like it coming off just one runner, just preference i guess cause i searched that and everyone said they work i just dont like it.
