rev9 sch 10 turbo manifold

[too_genecide]

Has anybody used one of these? I'm thinking about cutting the Mitsubishi flange off and using a t3 flange for an hx35.
I would like to turn it into a t3 divided manifold but it looks as though the runners are in the wrong position.
Please share your thoughts on why this would or wouldn't work.
I'm thinking I can at least make it an open t3.

Seems like a lot of work, might check with some of the vendors or other options for a t3 manifold. I guess if you can weld decent and have the parts/tools it could be decently cheap to do. Converting that to a divided t3 doesn't seem practical tho.

Why go through the headache? Just find a decent used T3 manifold from the classifieds on here, the other forums, or eBay! The cheap tubular stuff really does not hold up well and although I have no data on that exact manifold I know Rev9 is cheap eBay stuff. If you are desperate to get something cheap and quick, at least get a cast version like the Treadstone, I think Rev9 even knocked that style off now too.

The Holsets all use massive compressor covers so be careful with spacing. You may end up needing either a head to manifold or manifold to turbo flange/spacer to get enough clearance. If you have a 1g style water pipe you'll most likely need to weld up the turbo coolant return or get a NT pipe without that bung. It hangs down too far and is right in the way of where most manifolds place the turbo.

The cast T3 manifolds are under $150, if you really buy that tubular one then pay for a T3 flange, welding supplies, gas, etc you could afford a used MAP, Shearer, JMF, Punishment, etc. They get posted all the time for around $350-500. Good luck!

You could never turn that into a twin-scroll manifold unless you basically started from scratch...and the flange placement would be too close to the block to fit almost any single-scroll T3 turbine housing available for a HX35.
