hey guys I just figured out i have a crack on my manifold and i have $500 to spend on my car what should i do. should i just replace the original manifold which is $120 dolar at the part store. or is there any way i could replace my turbo wit a bigger one and my manifold without chancing any other parts. i could use all the help thanks.

pILiiiiiiiiiiiiis

 

I would get a ported 2g manifold and save for a turbo.

 

well ur kinda in the same boat i was in. I needed a new manifiold so i sprung for what i hope is a good quality tubular stanless manifold for $125, a FP- BIG T-28 turbo( more powerful than stock but a direct bolt in) for $800, an evo III o2 housing and all the gaskets, oil and water lines to go with it for a little over $275. If you dont have the cash right now, then just buy a manifold. and some extra studs.....

 

well $500 should will only get you an upgraded manifold so if you want you go go with either a tubular like paintball is doing or go with the ported 2g. But for that much your not gonna be able to upgrade the turbo

 

go all out and buy a shearer
