hey guys, just wondering if anyone here is using one of those ebay cast manifolds for 4age. just wondering if they seem to fit and work fairly well? also any pics of firewall clearance would be good.
cheers

The ebay cast 4age manifolds are a copy of the HKS manifold, I used a genuine HKS manifold on my 20V turbo, I guess the chinese just copied it but used crap metal. The HKS cast manifolds have a high nickel content. If you shop around the genuine HKS manifold doesn't cost much more.

the ebay ones are prone to cracking but this is easily fixed if you brace the manifold by welding a bracket to the engine bay to manifold

the cast one dosnt look like it will crack at all,does anyone know where to get a down pipe as the turbo sits upside down with there and down pipe wants to go up

I'm going to be running one, have no clearance issues with it. Finish wise it looks quite good, though the split pulse isn't right. You need to get a custom made dump (buy a flange and get an exhaust shop to weld you one up).

....or just buy a Kelway one and it will last forever and fit sweet for the turbo you want to run.
