the turbo manifold in the picture is for an internally gated turbo..

why not buy kustomized manifold.. its about 10x better than the OBX, and already has a port for a 38mm gate...

theres no 'tiburon' specific injectors. they are just low imp. 'bosch' style injectors i believe.. look for some mustang injectors that are around 750cc, and you will be good to go.

lmao.gif then ya should have listened to me when i kept pushing the BUY THIS DAMN THING.. i even mentioned 'even if you THINK you might go turbo, you should buy it'

now your pretty much stuck with OBX, and having to pay to get it reinforced, and then hoping it holds up after that.. or another route is spending around 300$ and getting a custom log manifold, or around 500$ for a custom ramhorn or similar style manifold.

hopefully someone will want to sell one of their good manifolds soon.

PLEASE dont support that POS site!!!.

you probably wont receive yoru items within the next 2-3 months, and when you do, some parts may be wrong, then jay will blame you for being canadian and tell you tough luck.

2uniq, just had this kit for sale a few days ago, but sold it.

i would see how much your 'shop' would charge you to make you a stainless 8ga. manifold.

I have a spare manifold here, ram-horn style with a 38mm wastegate provision. all you need is flanges for the turbo and engine. you want it?
