Take our 3" stainless steel down pipe and change it from multi piece tig welded to mandrel bent ONE PIECE!!!!

Got our first 5 mandrel bent DPs in today. Just need to cut them to length and tig weld the flanges and O2 bungs in place.

We have packaged the turbo kit three ways.

One is a complete kit including manifold, turbo, WG, DP, dump tube, feed and return lines, gaskets, etc.

The second way is Manifold, DP and Dump tube. This allows you to purchase and fabricate the rest of your turbo kit on your own as long as its a T3 5 bolt discharge turbine housing.

The third way is just the manifold alone. This way you can run a 4 bolt discharge turbine housing if you like and fab your own DP.

Check our ONLINE STORE for details

BomexS13 going KA-T? I thought you had an SR lined up? Would be nice to see your whip with a sick AMS turbo kit under the hood

KA-T FTW

I will have to take some pictures of the header on Chris' car. The stainless manifold has turned an awesome blue color that would look so good between the fenders of your car.

Why is it so hard to make one for the SOHC, can't you just tweek the bends a bit?

Do you plan on changing the price of this kit (complete one) next year? Im doing all suspension/drivetrain mods this year and wanna make sure I dont go too crazy and over spend.

and whats the flange size on the manifold?

thanks.

How difficult would it be to weld an SOHC flange onto an existing manifold?

I see that they are substantialy different. But perhaps one could buy a DOHC manifold and modify the center runners and weld on a new flange. It would take some fabrication but probably still be easier than making one from scrach. It's an idea anyway.

Making one from scratch would actually be far easier.
