I searched, and I didnt find any recent info. I have a question about the ETD manifold for the KADE. Does anyone know anything about them? are they any good? It looks like it pushes the turbo in front of the master cylinder, which would be nice. Does ANYBODY have any Info?

Thanks again!

I had it on my car. I think its a pretty well made, decently designed manifold for the price you pay. With a tangentially mounted T3/T04E though it came VERY close to the master cyl and hardlines (downpipe was a real pain to make). The pictures they have on their website are of a on-center type turbo, so it looks like there is more clearance than there would be if you used a regular tangential. Still though- a good manifold for the price imo.

I have that manifold.. been using it for over a year now (got it during their first group buy). Hasn't cracked & has been holding up, but most of the high-temp paint has flaked off.

I have a t03/t04 turbo and it comes VERY close to the BMC, especially the line. There's about half an inch of clearance. Like Fiznat, said, making the downpipe for this manifold is kinda tricky since you have to use quite a few bends to get it to clear everything.

But for the price, it's decent.
