Kenno - please elaborate. I would be very keen on a tubular manifold if one could be made up for a good price...

Just had a look @ Owen's website M800 £1899

TurboNick - Sorry to HiJack you with all my questions

Saito manifold is about 600 quid delivered to the UK. Would only go for it if you're going external wastegate, otherwise might as well just port your existing cast manifold. I've had two of these manifolds albeit modified the second one extensively

Two because you like them or 2 because they fall to bits?

Whats the benefit of external wastegating?

How did you modify?

Thanks

First one was too restrictive for a 2.4 which flows a lot more gas than a 2 litre, but worked well on a 2.0.
Second one is currently on my car which has larger diameter primaries
Modifications were wastegate related primarily as Saito put the pipe in the wrong place so you have to get it moved. Also made some changes as they didn't do the twin-scroll properly but you wouldn't need to worry about that as that is because I wanted it to support a twin-scroll turbine housing if/when I have one.

Do you have some pics John?

Thanks

There's probably some knocking about on the TOTB thread
