what manifold is this

[Yngvar]

I found this manifold it has a T3 flange on it. My question is who makes it and is it any good?

Looks like a turbonetics manifold, not sure about the quality but I'm sure others have experience with it.

Ouch that's a pricey shop!

Just a note, I've never seen a chrome Turbonetics, so unless it is ceramic coated that may be fake.

The knockoff manifolds don't emboss the "T" into their casting.


It's a true Turbonetics T3 manifold. It will NOT fit stock DSM turbos.


It's probably chrome because someone spent $1 on a nice can of chrome high temp paint which will look like crap the first time the car is started.

actually ive seen several fakes with the T embossed exactly as shown....

That coating looks just like my FP manifold coating.

Yeah, I saw the price to and was wondering if the manifold came with something else or no.


Hard to tell on the manifold but it definitely looks like someone rattle canned it chrome.

Looks like high temp ceramic coating on a real Turbonetics mani to me. Probably going to need some porting if you want everything to line up 100%, which is common with the Turbonetics mani & also the knock off ones such as the Treadstone (both seem like descent pieces). Not too sure about the quality of any other knock offs out there.

im sure wether its real or fake itll perform close to the same......

well thanks guy I will have to get it
