Megan racing turbo manifold

[98gsxtuner]

This is probably newbish question but I found a Megan racing turbo manifold on ebay that Bonehead performance had listed. My question is will it fit my MHI 16g EvoIII turbo,will i have any fitment issues,clearance issues, and how is the quality on it???? Here is the link to it:90-99 Eclipse DSM Stainless Turbo Manifold Megan Racing:eBay Motors (item 350210282896 end time Jul-04-09 15:11:00 PDT)

No it will not fit your turbo, this manifold is T-3 flanged where your 16G is mitsu flanged.

Personally I would not buy that manifold, just use a ported 2G manifold there proven for 500hp. If your dead set on a tubular manifold be looking to spend around $500+ on a quality manifold that wont crack. Are turbo cars see alot more heat that an N/A car, which is why N/A's can usually get away with the ebay headers.


Ebay tubular manifolds = junk

It probably has more to do with the weight of the turbo putting stress on the mani

I question your statment for the simple reason that the o2 housing and downpipe are supporting a good portion of the turbo and then my intercooler is holding up a good portion of it aswell. I had to take the downpipe off to drop the turbo a little bit to get my manifold off.

My downpipe doesn't hold much of the weight at all. If I take the 4 turbo-mani bolts off first, the turbo will drop 2", at least on my setup.

I wish mine did that, mind didn't budge one inch when i took the bolts off from the turbo to the mani.
