Exhaust Manifold's - 6boost & Crg

Reading between the lack of capitalisation, I would guess some crowd called Turbo-1.

thought id revive this thread and share my experience with crg.  i have been following their work on fb and was impressed. so recently took delivery  of a twin scroll t4 rb25 and a 50mm gate($80 to weld the gate flange  . when ordered it took 1.5 weeks longer than expected, they dont answer phone calls and take a long time to reply to fb msges. once arrived wastegate had vacuum fittings already fitted which is strange. no box no CD. no instructions jus the foam insert.. took photos of the gate and sent to turbosmart to confirm if genuine. as crg wouldn't reply  and already sus on them. turbosmart replied and its the real deal. fitting the manifold tonight, 5 of the studs massively fouling on the pipe by atleast 15mm, had to cut down. lucky the engine is out and it would be very painful in. could barely turn the nut with a open end spanner. i understand its custom parts and some mods need to be made. also will have to redo my oil lines. anybody want to swap with a 6boost?.   photos to support this. i dont like to do this but somethinng needed to be done. 

@bilk06169 I wish I had read this before deciding to order with CRG. I was going to post about my experience, but wanted to give them time to respond, but as they will not respond to me or take my calls here goes (be ware, slight rant):

I ordered a low mount T3 manifold for my RB25DET around the 9th of November 2017 and they said 5-10 business days and it will be with you... it arrived around the 15th of December 2017 and it was a HIGH MOUNT (see images). After telling them of their error, they said they would send me a replacement by the end of the following week (I realise this is around Christmas but that is what they committed to). The weeks roll by with no contact, despite my repeated efforts, they respond around the 10th of January saying it has been shipped. When the manifold arrives it is a low mount, but I cannot get the car in anywhere due to it being the start of the year.

Around the end of February, I manage to get the car into a shop, whom say the manifold flanges have walked by 1.5mm and need to be machined as the amount of walking will cause an exhaust leak. Machining was $230. Once I get the invoice back from the machining shop (2 March) I contact CRG asking for this to be paid for (as well as informing them I am extremely disappointed with the product considering its a $1,150 manifold) who immediately ask for my number to ring me. On the phone (stupid I know should have got it in writing) they say they will pay for the machining. Anyway I sent them the invoice last Friday and have not received a response and am not expecting one.

What I have learnt is CRG do not appear to care about the customer unless it is a big dollar job.

P.S. they informed me they have a 1.5mm tolerance on all their manifolds over the phone.

Take aways:

Customer service is terrible

Quality control on manifolds are terrible

Do not deliver on the time frames they promise

Do not order from CRG

Looks great. The rear housing looks like it's flamin mongrel hair off the rocker cover. What turbo is that?

 

I am waiting on my gcg kit to turn up will post pics how the 6boost fits

[SiR_RB]

It actually has quiet a bit of room between rocker covers and strut 

it's a precision 75 rear
