Now the first batch had a cracking problem, but that was about a year and a half ago. Since then I think its safe to say they have stepped their game up. Plus a lot of well known shops are also using their manifolds as well so that speaks a lot.


^Yep, I can vouch for this...........The PT74 as seen some HIGH boost with the SS manny on it. We beat that car to death and no cracks at all. Our only concern was the tranny holding up before upgrading it.

I also had to turn the turbo the other way, so now my downpipe makes a big u nearly missing the motor mount.


^PICS?

sounds pretty promising.....ill have to think on it. my t25 mani and turbo came in, their going on this weekend.....im going to get all dialed in, then decide on what im going to do. down to a log manifold, or the ss autochrme at this point. although i WANT a topmount turbo, so ill probably just go with the log manifold.

This is the only pic i have now. I have changed the intake setup and bov. Also removed heat wrap. The heat wrap makes your pipes rust. The motor is out of the car but will give new pics in a few weeks
