Ported k03 manifold

[matt@onlychargeddubs]

A ported standard manifold won't make a huge difference now, it's more about individual cylinder flow than just more internal diameter.

The manifolds we're testing have a great flow from each cylinder that prevents back surge or stalling of the turbine wheel, this is where more gains are seen, it just gives more of a torque feel, you'll see more ft-lb gains than bhp but this is what the 20vT engines really needs as they are very flat standard.

I'd agree though, wait till you're swapping turbo if you are, although the turbo is the worse part, the manifold has to come off to swap the turbo ideally so might as well do it all in one go, not twice

Matt how much are you thinking about selling the manifolds that your testing?
P.s will they be compatible with beach buggy turbos k300?

[matt@onlychargeddubs]

They're going to be around £200-£250, depending on if I feel ceramic coating them will be worthwhile.

I'm not sure on their k300, it certainly works on a k250, is their k300 their k04s version. If so it will do yes.

I'm not getting too involved with their turbos unless people ask us to fit them, I'm not convinced by the quality of them. But time will tell on that one I think.

The k300 is a k03/s with rs internals. Correct me ifnim wrong. He made it for a straight bolt on so no need to change parts if you have uprated em.

anything wrong with the quality of there turbos

What beach buggy turbos? Not that i know off. I think they come with 12 months warrenty aawell. You could check this out with him, through his facebook page.

They stand by them obviously, but I've fitted 2 for customers in the past couple of months and not been impressed by either.

They're obviously filling a market as a good turbo isn't cheap, I just wouldn't expect much from a £400 turbo, it's like comparing JOM's to KW's, one's mega cheap for a reason

Edit: just to add, skarki, yes they'll certainly fit their K300 then

You say you fitted 2 turboa for customers in the past. Who were the turbos hybrided by?

Thanks for that info. I might buy one from you.

[matt@onlychargeddubs]

Beach buggy, they'd got them from them and brought them to me in the boxes
