Tuning Upgrading a mk1`s exhaust manifold
Hope it is OK to mention this, here but Mal Simmonds is a good guy to ask in NZ.
There are probably heaps of 2nd hand ones around.
Oh yea, i will probably at least get one that isnt cracked as i have found a second hand one, but dont like the idea of it just cracking again soon. Why is it such a big job and did you get yours made through Sinco if so what sort figure was it ? Thanks heaps.
All turbo exhaust manifolds crack eventually.
If the manifold is an exact copy and bolts up its no big deal but it not usually so simple. The one I did had an external wastegate and there's just lots of little things that are slightly different that you have to fix up.
Sinco usually charges around $650 for a custom manifold. If you had a good used manifold I would just use that.
