they are hard to find, saab parts are hard to find in general, unless you look in europe. i bought mine used from a guy in canada that owns a cavy. if you go to the saab dealer you could probably order one.

yes it's cast aluminum, i'm sure it will take far more psi than i ever intend to push through it.

When this project is done, I will be throughly jealous. So, if all goes as planned, it'll be done before the March meet...sounds great!

dont listen to mike

your turbo isnt set up for a v-band hotside.

and you can build any manifold to be a v-band unit, but the turbo must be set up for it.

that manifold will leave you disappointed, i had the same style manifold before, i wasent seeing spool till 5k-ish.(granted on a larger hotside, but not much)

vary inefficient design, 1 and 4 fire at one another, 3 has a direct 90deg bend to make while sharing volume space with 4 and then 2 has a direct path.

it'll get you up and going no doubt, but you'll be back working on it to fix issues like that in no time.

congratz on the progress thus far.

Damn you really know how to wreck the day lol j/k

So what do you recommend? One like yours? Is there anyone building a better manifold yet?

we need someone to start making equal length turbo manifold with t-3 or t-4 flanges. it seems like every other tuner vehicle has a company making them.

If anyone can get to central NY, I know a shop that can do it. They can make just about anything you want outta stainless, you just have to tell them what you want and give them a car or motor so they can make a jig...

the place that did mine would be more then willing to make these manifolds.

you'd be around the $800-$1000 mark tho.
