Default external gated manifold??

Looking into going external gated, and wondered what manifold options for GT30/35 available and costs??

I have seen the converted 2wd manifold, but not sure what power limits are on that.

suggestions welcome

im sure porkies old 3dr had a 2wd modded manifold and that was 600bhp+, so i think its safe to say that the modded 2wd will work and be reliable

some tubular do crack though unlike the cast of the 2wd, peter g manifolds i think are one of the best but not cheap at all

If thats the case, and it will flow 550+, then maybe the best way to go for the time being as £1300 for a tubular is a little steep at the mo

Sadly PeterG has now passed away, so his work is no longer available.

How did you get on with that turbo? hope it was OK.

Have you got any suggestions for a manifold?

All the best Dave

They are getting made again afaik, but obviously not by him. Think he had a company and it's his partners that it starting it up again iirc.

No reason really Dave.
i was going to be going tubular manifold soon anyway so it would have been going up for sale.

but currently just selling on what i dont need to make the funds so i can get the FRS exactly as i want it ASAP, ie the AP's, Coilovers, wheels and remap etc.

Sorry Kelv,

Thought you were selling a tubular one.

Dont think the 2wd one will give enough flow for my engine mate

No mate, mines the Reyland 2wd with the external take off for a 44mm wastegate.

Exactly the same as Porkies etc at 600bhp.
