Oh, I've been here. I believe they have one mani in stock right now. it is 680+shipping. IC piping has different pricing based on options and hp goals. Please call Russ at (623) 587-0406 to discuss pricing and any questions you might have.

Wrong

How about actually looking at the one that the OP posted, it does not have the wastegate pipe.

Can't say that I do sorry. Is there a thread or something? But a manifold is a manifold.

Ptunings manifold is the only one that is safe with any style hood.

Most logs and manifolds like this one sit to high for a reverse style hood like the Kaminari.

Give them time I am sure they will eventually offer their parts individually or unfortunately someone will copy it.

You would have to re-route intercooler piping + downpipe since turbo is sitting at a different angle. Or you would have to send us your log mani to make one with the same fitting locations if at all possible. Or buy mani, intercooler + piping and downpipe so you can run your own turbo.

Keep in mind kits are designed around certain components(ie the turbo you want to use and how much room you have to make it work). Turbo kits are a puzzle and each piece has its correct place and fitment.

ie..the zpi kit was designed around the 16g turbo, which is why the rest of the components sit where they do. ie downpipe chargepiping etc.

this kit or manifold was designed to work with a T3/T4 turbo or combinations with the same size turbine/compressor housings.

There are lots of people that think that because something is fabricated that its easy to change....its not.....

For this manifold to work with your "zpi kit" ie the 16g turbo (which is the only part unique to the zpi kit)

would take the redesigning of a whole new manifold. The collector being the biggest change as the 16g flanges are different than a standard T3

It could be done, but it would be very expensive.

This defeating the reason why you want to "upgrade" your ZPI kit,

You want to do it for as economical as possible which means...

sell your ZPI kit and buy a new kit with the components you want.

Why do I know this? I tried to do it....the ZPI upgrade manifolds were a pain in the butt to make especially when not all the zpi manifolds were the same.

The wg is off to the side, turbo sits down low. And it comes with a 3" dp and s-pipe standard

Talk to you soon

this was todd's response to my pm. it looks like only the simple kit will work with the turbo kit.

i dont have the money to buy a brand new kit so i figured if i buy used and buy this manifold i can come up with a combination that will work well. the zpi kit im considering in buying comes with a 20g turbo.so pretty much gives me a while to feel out the zpi kit and in the mean time buy this manifold plus a turbo of my choice and the rest i can weld up my self to make it work. but i can piece together a kit and just replace it all at once over the zpi kit or sell that kit witch ever is more convenient i just want to go boosted. .

just some advice.....

Dont buy the used ZPI kit,

Do it right the first time instead of being in a hurry to be boosted. You will be thankful down the road.

Buy this manifold and a turbo and weld the other components yourself.

You will be much happier with this setup than the ZPI, plus you will have more money in your pocket down the road.

Cause when you go to sell the zpi stuff it will be worth less than what you are buying it for.

Regardless

Happy boosting and good luck

Todd
