hey guys, im just about ready to turbo my 420a just have a couple other things to do and i'll be good to go, i've been looking a a lot of turbo kits and found a lot i like. i don't like this turbo KIT but i LOVE the turbo manifold.... does anybody know where to get the manifold by itself??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/420A-...36683421QQrdZ1 as oposed to the standard ugly one that comes with every other kit i've ever seen. any help is appreciated

 

if you want an exhaust manifold for it that will look sweet you can get one with the kit and pay someone to do some kind of metal plating to it.. like chrome.

Alternativly you could get one custom done...

 

i don't want one of those that comes on every other kit (ex. star, hahn, treadstone, CI etc.) even if it is a different color this is the type of manifold i want... yes i could have somebody custom make one but. . . custom = $$$$$$ i may as well buy the turbo kit, keep the manifold and sell the rest of the kit lol that's why i was asking... so i don't have to do all that work for just a manifold. thanks yall

 

Well regardless of looks or tube shape... its like that for a purpose.. and anything different will restrict performance. So... i think they are different for a reason

 

ok thanks for the opinion.... however on the 4g63 all of the turbo manifolds are like that.... so would it be smarter to swap all 4g63 turbo manifolds over to the one that they put on the 420a (looks wise obviously not the actual one)??? i'm not doubting you just asking....... does anybody else know if this shape of manifold will affect the performance compared to the other shape?

 

because it can cause back pressure if the bends are too sharp ect... and i dont think you can use the 4G63 manifolds because the downpipe wont line up

 

no no, i wasn't talking about using the 4g63 manifold i was asking.... if the way that most of the 420a's manifolds look is the best flowing... than why don't the 4g63's us it????

 

turbocalculator.com makes them. They do look cool, however it will lengthen your spool time becuase the exaust gases have father to travle. However with a spyder manifold like that one there you get more top end power. Its basically like putting a hedder on the car.

 

just realized that their site is no longer up. Well in light of this situation google your *** off for 420a spyder manifold

 

did searches on yahoo, google, ask, and microsoft.... nothing.... i don't think it's worth it to buy the whole turbo kit just for that manifold.... guess i'm gonna be stuck w/ the ugly one... oh well thanks guys
