Default Custom turbo manifolds?

Where is the best place to get a manifold made up to mount a turbo to a civic engine? Any idea how much it would cost roughly?

ss autochrome stuff is junk in general. hear 80% bad comments, 20% good. generally 100% bad about the turbos they sell

generally seem to last no time, BUT for the cheapness, can easy reinforce it, the RB26 manifolds look smart as

Steve, for the money you can't go wrong with their manifolds. got told their early stuff was shit, but the later designed ones are ment to be alot better. i have a later one, its 3.4mm thick and has extra brace's too, plus the welds inside are all ground down and polished unlike on the older ones.

i paid £140 inc del for the manifold, divorced style turbo dump/elbow and all the gaskets and bolts. its a billy bargin, even if it doesn't last a life time.

also been heard alot of good stuff about their exhausts too, i'm going to be getting a 3" one and a big fat IC off them. my mate has just got a 4" thick IC and he's well chuffed.
