Yea I thought that. I got a buddy that can weld I've been checkin the classifieds and can never find a decent price combo any help? I feel like a freakin scrub having to ask all this stuff but the turbo games still new to Me

 

I had a cast iron bay Manila and it made me 429whp and 402trq. It's worth the 100 bucks or whatever it's called. But now I have a custom made xtube Mani and never looked back.

 

DUUUUUUUDE whatever you do DO NOT....DOOOO NOOOOT!!!! get that downpipe manifold combo..i bought that before i really searched and the downpipe doesnt match up worth crap, the 4 bolt flange for the turbo is off just a tiny bit and its hard to bolt it on and i mean you could do that but your gonna be dissappointed and i even emailed the company to get my money back and they wont answer emails or phone calls. I mean the mani is alright but you should get supports welded on it just to be safe and stuff. But other than that your gona be out 250 or whatver just like me ..not everything on ebay is good like it seems...your next best bet would be getting the megan manifold and downpipe...heres a link, it may be a little more expensive but it would be more worth it! here ya go:

Turbo manifold:

Downpipe:

basically the same exact thing as the one off of ebay for ya!

 

Thanks bro I appreciate the warning and help. Thinkin about gettin a log mani and a custom downpipe made and open dump tube anybody got or know anybody that's got a dump tube or downpipe for sale or can make them?

 

well i still got my downpipe and that manifold and the spipe that came with it..if you want any of that for a good price?? ill part it out for you if you want anything? the downpipe i had my brother cut the downpipe part for the wastegate to make it fit and work so its a bit ruff idk..pm me if you want anything or whatever?? and no prob for the heads up!! stupid company doesnt needs eff anyone else over!

 

Bro just cause it's a 4 bolt flange on that down pipe doesn't mean it will bolt up to your 4 bolt turbine housing. You will probably have to get it cut then welded the correct way. Plus how you gonna say that eBay combo is garbage and then telling him to get the megan one. The megan racing one is just as bad. Why do you think they don't make it anymore.

 

yea i think im just gonna get a cast iron log mani and get a downpipe off of somebody considerin you said that you made that much power on one lol just gotta either find the downpipe or get one made

 

I was just stating that the megan one would prolly be abit better than the ebay one for the wastegate to match up and whatnot. not saying that it is any better than the ebay one..

 

Nah well like someone stated before 75% of the people on here use a cast iron one cause there strong and won't crack as easy and make good power. Ofcorse you will make more on a EL manifold but if that mani wasn't made good well it will crack

 

Personally the only mani I would buy from Ebay is a cast iron mani. The chinese-made 304 manis are too thin and will probably crack. I had a Ebay 304 log mani that cracked in several places after only 3 months. I replaced it with the "Treadstone" style cast mani from Ebay and this thing is solid. I have no worries about it cracking.

The only problem with the Ebay-Treadstone mani is that it doesn't leave much room for the downpipe. I had to go with a 2.5" DP to clear the rad hose. I have an XB2 though, TC's might be different in this regard.

 

The biggest is 2.75 and the thermostat gets in the way not the rad hose. Plus the a/c line gets in the way.

 

Here is a manifold, downpipe and dumptube combo for sale: http://www.boostflow.com/bst7002-scion-tc.html. Not ebay-cheap but has a lifetime warranty so you don't have to worry about cracking or leaking.

 

just because it has a lifetime warranty doesn't mean you don't have to worry about it cracking ;)
that just gives me the peace of mind that when it does crack you'll get it fixed/replaced for free. ^^

 

The manifold is amazing!!! I love that one I should have gotten it but went custom route. Plus 60-1 housing is huge so I didn't know if it would fit.

 

man thats a sick manifold if i had the cash id buy that right now lol but sadly i dont guess ill be holing out for a little bit on that lol

 

I'll sell you my manifold and downpipe and dumptube for the same price as that mani. Hehehe.
