sfp exhaust manifold

[KDub]

any1 else have this pos? im on my 2nd one thats about to get welded for the 4 cracks on it. the 1st one was already welded by the previous owner and it cracked again and i just bought another almost new manifold. so i thought this one should last AT LEAST a year but 2 months later i see 4 cracks on it. i bought a t3 manifold and it did not fit my setup. for some reason it didnt line up with my turbo. is there a manifold out there that i can replace it with? im thinking my setup is fitted just make that manifold fit. I dont have the time or money to find a manifold that will replace it. any help would be appreciated.

I ran one on my 2g way back int he day when AGP included them with their DSM turbo kits. NEver had an issue with a T67 hanging off it, as a year round daily driver. But enough about me. As far as the exhaust goes, IIRC, that mani put the turbine discharge in the usual location, so any other manifold should replace it easily enough. I can't confirm that for you, but I would have enough confidence that it would work to just try it.

ok sweet. yea because i tried an ebay mani i got for pretty much free and it didnt fit. so that explains it right there. i think ill try the turbonetics one. looks like the same design. thanks.

I had an AGP kit a long time ago also, and went through two SFP manifolds. The second I had for only a few months before selling it to a friend. Cracked shortly after, and I recommended replacing it with the Turbonetics, which I liked a lot.

I have one .. bout 6 years old now and holding strong ::knocks on wood::. But I'll say about 6 years ago SFP's rep was a lot better too as they were making a better product. When they became more common place, they became more prone to failure - quicker/cheaper manufacturing likely.

Mind you I also had a brace welded into where the wastegate collector meets the runners. I think that helps some.

At this point there are so many nice cast manifolds out there like others have said go with the turbonetics route. Good luck.

You should look into an ERL T3 manifold. Cast stainless with a center collector mounted wastegate.
