External Gate And Manifold

[munro'sgts-t]

ok so i was just wondering how good the just jap external waste gates are (38mm) and also the high mount manifolds? the reason i am asking is becasue i will be fitting a gt35/40 to my rb25/30 and i dnt think it will fit low mount. i was looking at a 6boost manifold and a turbosmart gate but for the price difference i dunno im only looking to make arround 300rwkw so if i can save a bit of money with out hindering the performance of my new motor that would be great cos as you guys would no were not all made of money. thanx

Do you want to buy my GCG Turbo XTR high mount manifold and turbosmart 38mm wastgate. They have only been used for a couple of hours on the dyno. Bought from Horse Power in a box.

PM if intrested

If you want to do it on the cheap, it's worth considering getting an internally gated turbo and bolting it to your stock manifold. Dangerman04 i think has well into the 300's with a proper Garrett IW housing on a 3540 from memory. A search of the Forced Induction section should find his thread.

Spend the money on the turbo, forget about the rest if you want to save money, as you will generally have to re do stuff if you go the cheap option.
