Is it possible to use the stock manifold with a BT setup. I have heard about using adapter plates or something along those lines.

 

Yup, that's what the GReddy kit does.

I don't think people like using it much though, the plates can crack etc. I say if you're dumping all that money into BT you might as well dump a little more into doing it proper and get a manifold.

 

The manifold's flow sucks so bad i dont even what to use it for the stock turbo, let alone a BT.

 

Come on cincy, right angles flow best! Just ask stjacket.

 

180 degree bends even better.

and whatever you do, never get any piping mandrel bent, that just downright blows.

 

[sm=headbang.gif] thats a straight pipe.


But the problem with the manifold is that the runners are to small in diamand flow sucks. Not to mention that it doesnt flow evenly since the runners are all differnt lengths.
