Can you use a turbo manifold on a na engine (4AGE)

I have a tuned length and mandrel bent turbo manifold with external waste gate. I have sent my engine up for na and i have crappy 4-2-1
press bent totolly not tuned lenght. I was thinking of blocking of the waste gate hole and bending an exhaust back from the turbo flange.

Good idea or not? Stick with the crap i have? Any problems??

PS Engine has big compression, itb's, cams and computer.

Anyone?

i was planning to do the same for a pov pack 4-1 ebay extractors (they have a non wastegate version)

I cant see why not.

Would look pretty damn pimp

yeah i think so and yeah it would look pimpy but tuff, and if it get turboed later there is one less thing to do!!!

Anyone else see why i cant!

very good idea, i might try find a tuned length one, cheap and easy way to get hasselgren lookalikes

insted though cut all that shit off and just use all thecool bends up the top then tune the bottom half of the primaries to get the proper tuned length im after

It could work. Though it'll not be as good as proper extractors. If you have done everything else properly don't take such a shortcut on this.

However if it is just a temporary measure while you save for the turbo to suit then it'll get you round ok.
