I'm still leaning toward stuffing in an SR20DET, but I figure I might as well examine all my options. I was wondering what kinds of options I have as far as pre-fab turbo manifolds go and where I might find them? I search and find various reference, but mostly are custom deals.
Alternately, does anyone know where I can get my hands on a 3/8" exhaust flange for the GA16, or would this be something I'd have to have done at the machine shop?
Honestly though, I really do enjoy building parts and systems and each new project brings the need for more and better tools. Slapping on a turbo kit is nice if the desired end result is a quick, easy way to make a faster car, but I get a large part of my enjoyment from spending hours in the garage, and the outcome just happens to be a faster car. You know that old cliche: "It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey"
They'll seel you the manifold (apparently) for $800.
Or, you can go Protech (www.protechfabrications.com) and get the QG18 manifold (which fits the GA16) for $415 shipped. The Hotshot is technically superior, but budgetarily unattainable for me.
LOL, they want $800 for a *manifold*?? Someone is smoking some crack over there. What did they do, send it out to some small village in the Himalayas to be hand-carved out of exotic alloys? Damn, looks like it's time to bust out the MIG welder and some mandrel U-bends. Really though, I took a look at the picture at the Hotshot site and really have to wonder exactly what those guys are thinking.

we don't know for sure if the ports match dude.....sure, it bolts up, but the ports may not match...........that's a lot to spend to see if they match up.
