It really depends on your goal but I prefer smaller diameter runners, 6-2-1 with less merge area to keep the gas speed up. This may restrict your top end capabilities a little, but most don't need 800+kw of flow anyway.

Don't forget, the wastegate path is just as important as the turbo, the incorrect angle off the merge may see you struggling to control boost without a 60mm gate, and perhaps limit your top end flow unnecessarily.

Thanks for your input scotty.

Yes the wastegates will be angled correctly, even more so than most of the setups that tends to be at 90 degrees and are for sale these days.

Would love some manifold fabricators/vendors to chime in.

This the guy who made mine - have a look through his gallery:

I had a look, none of those are 6-2 to the flange.

And sorry to trouble you scotty, do you have any photos of your 6-2-1 top mount setups?

Are you making you're own manifold, Mike?

Yes, definitely slow and steady though...

What I wanted to be able to do is have a compact billet collector, makes it as cheap as possible. But also so that you can build a 3-1 tube merge and weld it straight on.

This is my collector effort so far... the T4 flange part is billet machined to get the transition from circle to rectangle spot on.

Good stuff! That T4 flange part is exactly what I wanted as well as a T6 variant.

The 3-1 section off the back half of the cylinders for me would be further away so just a schedule 10 2.5 inch crossing over with the wastegate off that.

The front 3-1 section would be roughly the same or slightly lower with the wastegates being about 60 degrees from vertical, as the power steering/AC will be relocated elsewhere.

why not merge them earlier to create more merge points for extra venturi effects and group each two that will fire close together? above collective looks alot like the usual twin scroll ..

The merge earlier part is exactly what I said 1 post above yours.

Not sure what you are on about for the "extra venturi effects and group each two that will fire close together" part though.

I can get the flanges made with what ever primary size going into it and a T6 one too... send me a PM.

A more progressive merge and a waste gate port that is more in line with the merge instead of 90° is a lot better but I want to keep it compact and I am using twin 44mm gates so boost control should be ok.

I was on about merging 1+5, 3+6 and 2+4 so you have 3 merge points then they merge into the final collector, when cyl1 fires then number 5 that fires next will have a vacuum in its runner ( venturi effect)

Each merge ( 3 pairs + 1 final merge) would step up in pipe size to encourage flow , maybe start off with a small diameter pipe and get larger at each collector like a set of TRI-Y extractors on a V8

Not sure how that would work for a twin scroll setup?

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
