i just received a quote on a bp turbo manifold to fit a t3. here is what i was told:
log style (up to 15psi) 300.00 us funds
tubular header.............450.00 us funds
ceramic coated and polished add 150.00 us
if anyone is interested, i'll inquire about a group buy.

essential speed right there in cambridge. you could stop in and check it out in person....pictures can hide things. let me know if you head up there.

i've been there before and seen there work
the intercooler piping looks good but look at this protege manifold
why don;'t we just get a manifold like the Larsen Motorsport manifold <img src="

i've seen several different styles that they make, i'm sure they can do whatever. the thing with the etd's is that i think the construction would cause it to sag under high heat.

i'd love to have a larsen style manifold. i tried to get one, but he quit making them right when i asked. maybe essential could make one. i'll take a pic to a guy i know here and see how much he'd charge.
