ebay manifold

looking to get a manifold and wondering why spend 600 on ams when you can spend less than 100 on ebay, i understand they can crack and get real hot but what about things like diameter and flow? any input will be apriciated.

Buschur did a test using the ported stocker and some aftermarket manifolds finding it to be among the top power producers when using a stock turbo or fp green. search it out

They work well, but some of them have fitment issues. There are also some people that advertise with megan racings manifold picture.

Ebay manifold's will crack over time.

Unless you can weld, you need to reweld the braces around the flanges!

You can find cast ones on ebay, that are molded off of a ported stocker....get those ones ceramic coated if you are trying to get rid of the rusty stocker & pick up a few hp

Unless you are swapping your turbo, or trying to get some kind of stock turbo record I would just keep what you have. Also, last time I checked people were selling ported 4g63 manifolds on ebay. If you do buy it keep your stock one so when it breaks you can put it back on. Do what you want it's your car.
