I've seen this manifold on ebaymotors for a while and was wondering if it's any good.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors..._1165
It actually looks decent from what I can see but wanted to get some opinions before I bite the bullet and get it. Anyone on here have one? It looks pretty well made from what I can see and the price is good too.
Also, have any other suggestions for SOHC turbo manifolds? The only other ones I know of are the JGS and CX racing. And I can't weld, so a DIY is out of the question.
Help me!

It looks pretty good, almost the same type of construction as JGS, just differnet design. The thing I wonder is, if it has a mount for an external wastegate. This wouldn't matter if you were using an internally gated turbo though.

Looks like fitment would be an issue. What's for dinner? Fried BMC, that's what!
But then again I'm not used to SOHC and fitment stuff, so it might fit perfectly. No external wg flange seems to be the only downfall, but again if you use an internally gated t3 you'll be good.

-Looks solid though. I find it's the cheap stainless steel ebay manifolds that have a problem.Id heat wrap it! also, check out the sellers feedback

That's with a Precision T3 T4 50 trim. Looks like it has tons of clearance. That guy has a build thread on Ka-t.org. Looks like he is pretty skilled.

Jordans stuff is very good .. and is an awesome guy... He has been in the sohc ka-t game a long time and has been making these manifolds for a while ... nothing but good things, and the clearance is great... he has a few different kinds i believe .... side mount, bottom and can not remember if he does top ones any more ... but look him up on ka-t.org screen name is Jordan Gladman
