no... it is a t3 mani
Mine was made locally by a buddy of mine.... He actually gave it to me after he decided he was going a different route with his car. So in trust, he handed it to me and said we will build it
.... and so we did

Not to sound like a dick but he lied to you. He just bought the XS power kit. You cannot just make it. You need the original or the fake in front of you to make it anyways. It is about $250 new for the manifold and the downpipe. I really don't see how you can go wrong.

well, i hate to be a dick in return, but, he didnt lie, he had the original right in front of him from another local car here... and its obviously not the xs power, you can tell that by the welds. I could post it on here and call it full race if it had the divided flange on the block side.

They are distinct,because most of their welds are done by a robot..I am a welder..Thats what i do for a living,and,It definately is not a FULLRACE manifold..But, to the guy who said you cant just make one..Obviously doesnt work in the field..If you have a welder,some prebend pipes,collector,flanges,etc,etc..Anything can be made..Just a thought..Anyways,to the guy who actually had the one he got from his friend..Tell your friend..GOOD JOB..Ignore the haters..Justin

with my setup, the stock radiator will be close, if you go aftermarket radiator, the only ones that would fit is the slim radiator from cbrd or the one from ams (small radiator) ... its pretty tight in there. With that mani, the vband is for 44mm tial. However, if you want to go smaller, whatever wastegate you buy will come with a vband that you can have welded on.

Thos welds look undercut. Almost like they didnt use enough filler.
Ive seen first hand what cracks and doesnt!!
Has anyone had a peak-boost or full-race manifold crack?
Is anyone using a Borgwarner turbo with a SS tubular manifold?
