I hear that Maximum Boost doesn't make the greatest turbo kit, but their manifold looked decent. It has the T3 flange as well. I got quoted $330 for just the manifold, so that is an option for all of you looking for a manifold. I'm still waiting on a few more quotes.

I did some research on the AGP .50trim and the Garrett GT3147 turbo on the SRT-4 forums. Those two turbos look like they'll spool pretty quick and do well on our engine. I think they should put me in the 350-400hp range on 15-20ish psi depending on the turbo. Do you guys think those would be viable turbo options or is there something better for our application? I'm ultimately looking for about 350whp and a quick spool time.

 

Ljavy went for the Precision. IMO, i wouldve went with a hahn super 20, but the super20 will definately be maxxed before you hit 450 I think.

 

uhh maxiumum boost doesnt actually build the manifolds, its just some kid in his parents basement who buys parts of ebay, literally, and then pieces things together and calls them a kit. Id high advise against buying form him.

 

ditto... i would not suggest buying from maximum boost... he's been banned from this site for a while... it's all generic crap that may or may not work on your car...

 

Well, that's why I aksed here first. There are a few more companies that make manifolds too. It's just not to commonplace for our cars.

Sheek, I'm only looking for like 350 so the Super 16g and 20g are also options as they'll fit the Hahn manifold. I was just looking for some modern turbo technology compared to the Mitsu turbos.

 

I was thinking along the lines of a gt28r maybe... I'll see one in action in a friends srt-4 on saturdays dyno day (yes I"ll finally have some numbers to post up) but I know a few guys with 50 & 60 trims puttin down upwards of 500 hp

 

hey, how bout a list of the companies that do make the manifolds, and a list of companies that have kits for our cars?

 

Hahn racecraft makes a manifold for Mitsu style turbos: 16G and 20G
CNFX makes an awesome tubular one for $850: T3 Flanged Turbos (Site down)
There is a guy on Ebay who makes log manifolds for like $160: T3 Flanged turbos
Jtuners makes one, but I'm blocked from that site so I can't look!
JBP supposedly makes one from what I hear, but that's blocked too!

Other than that, I'm not sure who makes one. Does anyone know whatever happened to Exploited Racing from the j-body.org? I haven't been on there for awhile. If you can go to these sites please get me prices and post pics on the ss.net so I can see them. Thank you!

 

I'm looking to spend another 2k or so in my car and I'm starting to think turboing might be an option

 

Here is another viable option for the DIY welder. This is looking to be the best one yet.

I also emailed Hahn to see what their manifold price is too. Wow, I just got this from HAHN as I'm writing the post:

The ecotec manifold is $599 with 5 year warranty with a T3 inlet flange. Pictures can be seen on our website!
Thanks again

Hopefully this thread will become a sticky.
