Which Ebay China turbo manifold to use?
Ok, I know. Why?
But I would like to know which china manifold people have had the best luck with? Mostly concerned with wastgate placement and waste gate fitment in the engine bay. So far I see 3 different ones on Ebay. 1 with a V-band style waste gate flange and 2 with the hks style flange. the difference I see between the two of those is the length of the waste gate pipe. I am not concerned with the type of flange, I will cut it of and weld on a Tial 44 flange anyways. Post up links please.
Thanks.

It is for a 1JZ. I am not real concerned about the warranty, but more with how it fits in the engine bay. I hear with some, the placement of the waste gate can be a problem in the SC's. Any personal experiences?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I bought a chinese manifold and had the wg flange removed for my v-band HKS wg. Because of the rotation i didnt need to edit it but if your wg has a bolt flange im presuming you'd have problems.
on a side note, brace the manifold up or it will probably crack. Use proper round bar:
this has been holding up my Greddy T78 for sometime with no complaints

I ended up going with a manifold and down pipe from someone called "Drewgo" I think its basically a chinese manifold, I think he adds in the reinforcement bars, which I could have done, and its non-divided, i would have wanted a divided manifold, but it should be fine. the down pipe looks the same as all the ones I've seen on ebay. Mainly choose this manifold because it was the only one that placed the waste gate on top instead of underneath. It was very reasonable in price as well. I will post photos when it arrives.

Stop playin guys.
Support one of our own, Dre (Drewgo). He has by far the best inexpensive tubular manifold available for our cars.
Here is the 1JZ version but I believe he has 2JZ also.
