Hi all i have a mk4 escort pickup which ive bought a focus rs engine for it is missing the standard turbo and exhaust manifold.
As i was planning to run a gt28rs and a tubular manifold this doesnt matter im also running the car on a megasquirt ecu so does anyone know the best place to purchase the turbo and tubular manifold! i wouldnt mind buying second hand but can anyone give me some figures price wise cheers in advance

 

Turbo- can be bought from states, but probably no saving to be had as exchange rate is not very good. Try AET wakefield (do a search)

I would have a hybrid conversion on std turbo so it still fits original manifold.

Tubular manifold from Primary designs are the best made imho. Probably not the best price but then you get what you pay for.

 

As said AET is probably a good place to get the turbo from - have supplied various turbos to people on the RSOC with FRS & havn't had any complaints

Manifold wise best on the market is from Primary Designs but your looking at £1300 for one but as said price is due to the quality & fact they produce exhausts/mani's/etc for over 1/3 of the F1 grid, motorbikes, etc, etc

Best value for money manifold is probably the one made by Blueflame tbh

These were built and developed off an RSOC members FRS & again quite a few happy FRS owners now running them on their cars with no probs

Only manifold to stay away from really is one branded as "miltek" generally available via Pumaspeed - they are NOT made or licensed in any way by Miltek & have been known to crack badly around the primaries

 

what about some thing like this

seen a few of this on zetec turbos and look good under the bonnet too
the price might be a bit steap but can look around for the same thing and grade of metal cheaper

 

Alex, Which so called branded milkek manifolds are we talking bout the stainless steel ones?!

 

the is a focus rs breasking on ebay now

 

cheers for all the replies so far lads i had a look on at the blueflame tubular manifold i think il just go for that 1 and i had a look on the website recommended for turbos but it says currently under construction so il have a look later on.
i could have just kept my focus rs and saved a lot of hassle ha ha
