turbo manifold ?????

02-01-2005

Hey whats up every one. I have a ?? if any can help me out . I planing on buying a pacesetter headers for my talon, but I'm not sure cause I've been hearing alot of stuff about them. So what should I do go with the headers or just a stock manifold. And also I'm looking into buying a sheetmetal intake manifold, what do u yall think about them.

If you've heard "alot of stuff" about them, you've probably heard they are nothing but junk, so why bother asking? Do you even have mods on your car yet?

Pacesetter headers are junk. I know of one personally that has been rewelded countless times and it still falls apart.

They are very thin mild steel. Definately not worth it. Just get some used stock stuff.

Thanxs everyone for your coments. I will go with the stock manny after all. And yes I have some mods. I have my balance shaft removed, alu. flywheel, fornt mount iner., with 2.5 iner pipes, 3 inch exhaust, after market fuel rail barded lines, fuel reg. 680 injectors, 255 wlb pump, underdrive crank pulley, after market bov,safac 2, msd dis2, and just sock turbo and intake for right now. Thats why I'm asking about the sheetmetale intake and exhaust manny.if it would be a good idea or not. I just want to boost like 18psi no more.

yea, get an evo3 manifold, or maybe one of the custom cast ones. Slowboy offers a nice one for a decent price, and relibility should be excellent. I personally have a used ported evo3 mani, had no probs with that.

Do you have an upgraded turbo? when you have the manifold off, that's always a nice time to install a bigger one...

you shold have no problem running 18 psi on a stock manifold. BTW, do yo have a 1g or 2g?

evo 3 would be a good one to go with, and a bigger turbo is to costly right now but in mine for later plans. I have the 1g talon.

**JET** · 02-01-2005

Don't bother with an EVO3 manifold, they just match up to a ported turbo better. The runners are not any bigger than the others. Just get a used 2g manifold if you can find one in decent shape. Get it ported and you will be better off than an Evo 3 and it will be cheaper.

thanxs I think I'm gonna go with that 2g manifold but how much do u think the porting job would cost.

Depends. Jet will do it and QPR can do it. ghettostyle will sell you his 2g manifold for $75 plus shipping. We could have it ported before sending it if you wanted by either of the above people. QPR has ported numerous manifolds (2 for me). He does a great job. I have not had anything ported by Jet yet but I am sure he does a great job. Pm Jet or Raptor (QPR) and you can ask them what the going rates are. Pm me or ghettostyle if interested.
