stay far away from ebay tubeular. i just bought the x02 tube manifold. 1 the turbo didn't line up, had to push the turbo back a half inch and to the right. have to cut down 2 exhaust studs, the runners are smaller than a 2g manifold, its a 6cm collector. you can port the collector but the runner i was chewing through the welds. the crappy gaskets they give you blew out in 2 miles. i made it down the road and boosted in 2nd and they blew, the bolts are grade 4.8 hardness and stripped. they only thing i did notice is my exhaust is deeper and louder and the turbo does spool a bit quicker, 200rpm. this is with evo316g MHI. overall, would of rather of gotten the FP cast manifold and been done in an hour rather than 4 with this damn thing and have to put on different gaskets now. plus this thing gets HOT!!!!! need header wrap.
