M50 ebay turbo manifold

[lolcantturn]

Hay guys. I'm going turbo, but on a budget of course cause that's how i roll.
as much as i'd love to own the beauty of goodntight's turbo manifold, im a cheap fuck and I can't have nice things, so eBay will have to do.
Which manifolds will properly fit on an E30? I know they're notorious for cracking, but i will weld a brace to prevent flex and stuff.

Everything I have read says that it wont fit with out flipping it and cutting and modifying.

[Good & Tight]

This one fits without cutting, priced pretty cheap also.

[Gruelius]

Does that fit?

Love the lifetime warranty surrounded by asterisks! Best of luck. Can be done but longevity? Not sure.

It definitely looks better than those "stainless steel" eBay manifolds you find on eBay. However this does look like a bottom mount mainly because the turbo flanges isn't very far from the exhaust flange meaning the turbo will hit the valve cover. But have room below due the engines tilt.
I reckon it could be done but you have to get the oil filter relocated and get the passenger engine mount modified. And who knows if the oil will drain well with the bottom mount manifold. By which in the end you may as well go with Otis' manifold as it will flow better and cost around as much unless your handy with the grinders and welders.

I think Godspeed is a bit more reputable than china shit but I'd really like it to fit:( is there any other alternative for eBay headers?

[agile30]

Why doesn't anyone buy the blunttech manifold? Your supporting a fellow r3ver, great product, and I'm sure it is much better than anything else near that price range. Spend a little extra and do it right.

[lolcantturn]

I would love to, trust me I would, but I don't want to spend the funds for it and if I can save some money then why not?

[The Humjet]

I have no doubt the godspeed is a quality piece since they're offering lifetime warranty. It makes me think why do the tcd manifolds cost so much for a simple cast manifold.
It isn't the end of the world if you run the cheap manifolds. You'll just have to do a bit of modifications to make it work. Otherwise wait and save enough cash to buy a bluntech manifold which should slide onto the studs like a charm and clear everything.

[ExViTermini]

The blunttech mani performs great. Fits perfect with no modifications, does not boost creep like many of the others.

It's super heavy duty too, I have no fears that mine will ever crack.

It's well worth the money for the non-headache!

Save the extra $300 for G&T manifold?


You work don't you? Whats wrong with waiting another week?
