So i need a new turbo mani. My ssac style (top mount t3/t4) one took a crap and is cracking to all hell. I would like to know if there are any good aftermarket mani's that are going to put my turbo in the relatively same vacinity. That way i wont have to change my exhaust or intake setup so much. Thank you

Take your SSAC to an exhaust shop and get them to mig the crap out of it.

Theres almost no way you can get another manifold that has the exact same turbo location as a SSAC. Boost designs manifold is close, but they dont make them anymore, and from what i hear they have a tendancy to crack as well.

This is the second time ive taken it in and now the wastegate flange area is just breaking out like crazy. I think it will just keep cracking.

I think the jgs mani is kinda similar. It looks like it will put it a little further from the bmc (which is good) and Ill just have to have my downpipe extended a little. Plus i think that mani is pretty stout....especially for 350 or whatever it is. There is another on phase2's site that is 650, but doesnt really look any much better than the jgs one.

i believe the revhard manifold puts the turbo in the exact same position as the ssac one.

I've fixed numerous SSAC mani's. Anyone who can't one isn't worth his weight in semen...lol.

I checked out the revhard and according to their website they only have the cast mani in a t4. My turbo is a t3 flange.

I think the treadstone (check ebay) and the revhard is for t3/t4 configuration. I was going to change out my ssac mani to a revhard, but since I mig welded around the parts that were cracking and its been holding up good.
