stock manifolds? So I have been reading around a bit and had a question about guys using stock manifolds for there turbo builds. I see everyone using truck manifold and just wanted to know why is there somthi g different about them or is it just because of the way the outlets face? I'm asking because I have a chance to get a set off of a g8 gt and was just wondering if the would be ok. shooting for 700 with room to grow on a 408 with an s480
Thanks for any help

The G8 one's will work just fine too, or almost any factory manifold that physically fits your needs.

Obviously flow matters too....but the cast manifolds really arent bad at all anyway.
AGP Turbo, Hellion etc all make kits for the Gen5 which uses the same manifolds as G8 I think, and they make great power

The biggest reason people use the truck manifolds is because they fit (With moving the alternator). The second reason would be that they flow decently for most peoples power/flow rates.
