Default turbo manifold!

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a cheapish, turbo manifold to suit an internal wastegate for my ef fairmont? New project!!

Cheers

just remember cheap generally isnt good and good generally isnt cheap. If you source a cheap manifold chances are it old, thin walled, dodgy welds and may have a good chance of cracking

Thanks guys,
Have tried to contact snort but they dont seem to reply to my emails.. Do they do a log manifold to suit an intenal wastegate turbo? I will be running a T04e turbo and stock fuel management, do you think I could safely get 180-200rwkw?
Cheers
Dazz..

It all depends on the tune, boost and fuel. Pure and simple.

yea snort seems to have pretty poor cutomer service. i actually got told that the bloke is actually a chef and just does Snort parts for extra cash.
THIS IS ONLY WHAT IVE HEARD AND I DONT WANNA BAG SNORT.

Hey have you heard about those pigs flying lately there all over the news. Mind you just because someone is a chef does not mean they cant build performance engines. People like you need to keep your comments to yourself sometimes

I think everyone needs a chill pill.

There is always going to be fors and againsts in any discussion about performance builders.

Please keep it civil.

If you are still having trouble getting on to Snort send me a PM. I know Geoff from Snort and will drop in and see him for you. You might find he is hard to get hold of for a number of reasons. 1, he has been having a few health problems, and 2 he has just had a baby (well his partner has).
Also he works full time at Snort, and its not his 9-5 job, it’s his 24 hour a day job.
As with poor customer service, I think you will find just about everyone that has had dealing with Snort will disagree with that comment.

mate... gees id like to tell u what im thinking but this site has a filter and i fear i would be banned if i told u to go... did u not read "THIS IS ONLY WHAT IVE HEARD AND I DONT WANNA BAG SNORT."?????????????????

and no shitee just cos someone is a chef of course they might be able to build a performance engine. just like cos someone is a taxi driver theres no reason why they cant fly a plane.

but yea to the bloke who started the thread i reckon either ebay or snort for your manifold. i you go a snort manifold try the bacon and egg sanga.

Great Job - and awesome work by Snort to support the E-Series with Turbo Kits - not as popular as VL kits but its good that some one has made the effort and they should be rewarded
