TransitVanMan Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 anyone got any helpfull feedback on either of these products off ebay is the only difference the grade of stainless? and do the turbo's sit in the same position on both?

johnny g Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Check on the price of welders as well, as you'll need to repair them a fair few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransitVanMan Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 i'm ok with a welder - the last pair (for a v6) i made myself but for the price of these it's hardly worth the time and effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 neither of them are braced , so either buy one and get it stregnthend with braceing , before you fit it. or be prepared for it to crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaqTRD Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 The new XS Power Manifolds are a little different, they have added additional supports to the t4 flange where the older ones use to bend due to the weight of the turbo causing it to crack. I know a few people including myself with the new style ones and they have been fine for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaqTRD Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 heres mine how it came out of the box: - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaqTRD Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 For what its worth, When i ordered mine from Ebay, it had the same images as the links you've posted. I was getting ready to start preparing myself to have to weld some braces on, but when it arrived it was already braced. So when you order yours, it'll most probably come all braced.

dude Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Check the welds inside dude as there were issues with weld breaking off and going thru the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaqTRD Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I've only got pics with the turbo already bolted on, not much good to you as you cant really see much of the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
