turbocharging a m20 motor

[twopoint7]

I am asking if there is a company that produces a turbo manifold for my motor ? I have a garret T3 turbo at my house and I was wondering if there was a company that makes it ... ide rather have a manifold over a header for space reasons .

I dont think any aftermarket company produces a turbo manifold for our cars. But you can buy a used 5 series Turbo Diesel manifold and custom fit it on. Or you can do what Noren did and make your own (probably the most cost effective).

Its actually quite pricey for the custom fabed header . Ill have to pay a shop arround here to do it . Cuz I dont have a machine that will mandrel bend exhaust tubing . The 5 series turbo diesel manifold sounds like a good idea . does anyone know the prices of about how much the manifold would cost ?

oh and watch my video ..

There are a few manifolds on ebay right now, they are taken from 524TD's.

OR you can wait for GaugeCo's turbo products which I think should be out in October. That's what I'm waiting for.

Yes there is

call turbonetics......and cartech

I think the wait is like 6 weeks and the cost is about $900.00

that 524td exhaust is NOT the good way to go

Why do you think like that? due to strength or dimensions?

[twopoint7]

Im striving on keeping the cost down, so modifing the 524td manifold is better cost wise(only $100 Vs. $900) and I know I can do the fabracation to make the 524td manifold work on my motor .

[skat 325is]

For now its either the 524td manifold or make a custom one.

524td manifold is not a bolt on, needs modifications.
