I'd get it checked for flatness if it's an autospecialist one (looks like it). The one i got from them always blew gaskets and it turned out it was warped! They do look good when they're brand new thought eh
Lol...yeah you need to be more than a member chris haha!! Not alot different to the original really, no damper or anything required and the turbo mounts in the same place. I ran one for a while, only took it off cos i didn't get round to getting the flange face skimmed so put the original back on for now.

lol cheers dave just wasn't sure if it would be as strong- I was gonna type
'whos D*ck do i need to suck around here to get answers!'
but didn't think it was appropriate
Neither the flange pattern or the turbo flange are the same are they?
no they are not and the pipes don't line up and are not round they are oval but if you know what you are doing then its not hard to do and the last one i made only cost Ł70 to make .
im interested in your upgrade,but coudnt do it myself,but im sure a reasonable mec could sort it out,so are you happy with the result and have you noticed any difference cheers
when i first did it i changed the cam at the same time so hard to tell but i gained just over 30hp with the newman cam and the exhaust manifold and it was running a kent 34 on the old set up.
and i also run the same manifold on my 350hp zetec turbo.
I'd be interested in what price you can offer on these Gary, saves me having to do it.
it all depends on if you supply the manifold or if i can find a second hand one ,but they are Ł250 if i have to buy a new manifold plus the flanges. these dont crack i have been running them for years and are on a few cars now with no probs.
I can find a cheap manifold. I could build one, got all the tools, but its just actaully bothering to do it as I've got lots to be getting on with Would just be getting the flanges and your time of course.

the flanges are around Ł50 just pm me when you find one they dont come up offten second hand tho.

250 for a custom manifold sounds like a good bargain especially knowing it can handle big power i'll take one when you get time
