why T3 flange??? not many tubos with that flange good for 1300cc, if your going to start from scratch maybe a T2 flange would be better. Any good performance/exhaust shop should be able to make a manifold for you...

Mr enforcer at chipping norton can do it, but could be an all day job and costly.

i might be able to sell you my manifolds in a couple of weeks when i sort out if they are what i want, plus they were made for a clubby and therefore wont allow my bonnet to close on my round nose....

however these are for a t2 turbo.... heaps of them round going for relatively cheapo prices...

not 100% sure if i will sell them yet... prob round the $50 mark after i grab the end off the dump pipe that bolts onto the turbo.....

they just dont fit in the round nose front, well i cant close the bonnet lol....
i was thinking about trying to copy kazjims manifolds...

I reckon you could keep most of it, just remake the bit over the clutch housing to relocate the turbo. :wink:

i think using a 3-1 set of extractors though would make a heaps more free flowing manifold though, wouldnt it???

No. You don't even need all the pipe lengths the same, for a turbo.
Show me the gear tomorra... 8)
