Hello just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with ks racing manifolds, I recently purchased a top mount and am happy with the overall quality but the angle of the t3 seems to be pointing the turbo  really close to the valve cover, I currently don’t have a turbo to test fit but am looking to get a 3076 and am thinking I may have fitment issues and was wondering what people have done to counter act this, and yes I’m aware 6boost is what I should have bought before everyone comments that haha. Any input appreciated 🥂

Does seem to be a stupid angle. You might end up needing an angled spacer. The trouble with spacers is they use up....space and the angle might get better but the room left is still not enough.

Yea I was thinking about a spacer but came to the same conclusion I was hoping my eyes were playing a trick on me and someone has had success with the same manifold 

Sorry but WTF is that merge collector 😳😳😳

I sincerely hope that u got that for free or basically free.

I can’t see that working out for you. The most hassle free way to fix it is to take it off and buy something better.

yeah sorry but that does look pretty sh1t. I use one like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003648296789.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.11.6567474c9ga2rG&algo_pvid=912783c9-3044-4f88-a035-728286787b0c&algo_exp_id=912783c9-3044-4f88-a035-728286787b0c-5&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!192.70!192.7!!!121.98!!%402101f49f16923538504684434e3acc!12000026642021204!sea!AU!4138068839!&curPageLogUid=W4PW53XF41pW   

yes the wastegate outlet is shocking. No argument there...but with an EBC and the right sized turbo, boost control is not an issue. I was prepared to internally ground shite welds etc but it didn't have any issues like that, it is of decent thick construction, 3?+ years and no cracking, apart from where the wastegate tube comes out of the manifold. Welded that up and welded in a small brace to that tube, and haven't had any further issues. Fits GTX3076 just fine. I was looking at 6boost but bought this cos it was about $280 aus delivered so why not, and very happy with that choice years on now.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
