Default Ebay turbo manifold

Anyone ever tried it? Its made by GodSpeed. It looks nice, looks like all the hot pipes are there and for $450 plus $50 shipping, that sounds damn cheap. anyhow, I cant post a link but look up ls1 turbo on ebay and let me know what you think.

We'll see. I'm trying to tune it now. Weather is crappy down here. It's a learning process. I think I'm done spending money on the turbo kit right now though.

Looks good from the top, but how about from the bottom? Coilpack relocation is a nice touch too.

Nothing to the bottom, I just have the downpipe dumped. No exhaust running from it. Too much of a pain in the *** to try and do that on the ground. I have some old pics, but it looks pretty much the same. Its a cluster **** on the drivers side, the streering shaft was fun. And you are going to have to make your own power steering lines, thats about 120 bucks for all the appropriate fittings and the line.

Add also even if it is coated wrap it. I agree on the steering knuckle is a pita. And the PS lines do have to be relocated. Better than waiting months for a kit. Good luck

That's the kit I was referring to. Could you also let me know how much you have invested minus the turbo? Is there a way to save the a/c with the kit with minimal modifications?

That ebay kit looks really good, Especially for the price!

And you probably didn't wait over 9 months for your kit to get shipped. . . . . . .

Looks often have nothing to do with performance. A polished turd is still a turd.

I'm not sure I havn't got a response yet whether or not the AC is kept with this kit. I have also emailed the seller on ebay for more info.

I sent you the pm, you can keep the a/c. I just don't use it, so I took it off.

what size diameter is the piping? If I get a T6 turbo can I just cut off the T4 flange and weld a T6 flange on?
