Jack8745 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 So I been thinking lately about fabing a custom manifold (from QBM parts) for my GLT with 16T or getting an R ported manifold. I don't care about the bragging rights that come with making a custom one if its not worth my time. I'm a cheap bastard that wants the best for his money. SInce my time isn't worth any money the R manifold is way more expensive then making one out a kit. which would be better for performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudvolvo Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I hope your good at welding. A ported R manifold would be more than enough for a 16T though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 With a 16T I wouldn't worry about the manifold too much really...spend your time/money elsewhere :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack8745 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I hope your good at welding. A ported R manifold would be more than enough for a 16T thoughI can weld, just spending like 550.00 plus cost of porting for a R manifold seems too much for me. I also dont really feel like making a manifold if there are cheaper options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbor850 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm sure you can spend your money elsewhere. Unless your upgrading your turbo to something bigger then a 19T in the future, then get a log manifold. If you just want a couple of hp, get a R manifold used, it will be better then stock and still give a couple hp. If your looking to blow money, get another upgrade worthwhile.
