Its probably just me but. I really don't like the word "Imitation" for some reason

couple issues with you getting this.

a: you dont have a t3/t4 turbo
b: welds look kinda shotty
c: flanges probably wont fit, ebay stuff usually doesn't mate up right

Umm.. Your T-25 isn't going to bolt up to that.

a. yes i do, just not mounted on the car, hence why im asking about this manifold.
b. thats what i was concerned with
c. are you talking about the flange for the wastegate or onto the head, or both?

It could be either or. Generally, with eBay, you get what you paid for.

Then again, it COULD fit perfectly.

oh ok, i just assumed you were on the stock turbo based on your profile

anyway, any surface-surface mating can be warped/angled wrong. like leet said, it's a hit or miss with eBay companies..

I guess i shoulda listed that i also have a precision turbo waiting to be put on, but i see what you guys are saying about ebay mani's being hit or miss, i cant seem to find a good deal on a turbonetics mani or sfp for that matter, so im gona try this mani out, and before i put it on ill let a few local shops have a look at it to see if they can spot any problem areas. Seeing how its also flanged for a 40mm, i have a spare 35/38mm flange lying around that i plan on having re-welded on this mani... wish me luck.

Any word on the manni?

 

[NyQuiL07]

no, things got delayed i had a few midterms come up, im about to order it this week i think. another piece of interesting info i found out on them, there made with 8gauge steel instead of the average 16gauge and they have a lifetime warrenty from manufactorer which isnt obx in this case.
