I was just wondering if anybody made a turbo manifold out of the stock one and if so can you tell me how. or if anyone knows where i can get one cheap. thanks

that would be tricky to do because if you were to bolt a turbo to the exit flange of the stock exhaust manifold, the turbo would be placed way to low to allow for proper plumbing and oil drain back. Unfortunately, there isn't a readily available cheap turbo manifold for the GA16De ...yet, who knows that may change with time. I (like most of the other turbo GA's) had to make mine from scratch.

sentra_ga16det,
do you have any pictures of your manifold? are you welding a turbo flange to the outlet of the stock manifold or are you hacking and welding it into a new configuration?

well i did have the muffler shop do a flange that ran from the exhaust maniflod of the turbo but the turbo and lines did not fit above the crossmember and i had to remove the front motor mount to fit the turbo but since i had put to much money in to it i scraped the project. and another thing was that the turbo was like an inch off of the ground. so the real probs were ground clearence and that $%*@ing stock manifold. if any one cares i am selling that mitsu m10 turbo that puts out around 5-7psi(max 10psi) with lines,turbo exhaust elbow,but no maniflod. for $300 obo
