What manifold does this look like to you guys?

[gaehrings13]

I know it isn't a xs autochrome because the runners are a little shorter than those. It also has a t4 flange welded to it so it can't be a ssa because the are t3 t4 flange. The tig welds look nice too. Just let me know what you think guys....

[gaehrings13]

It can't be a ss autochrome.I know thats not a ka one but thats how they make there ****ty runners these look longer. Mine is all messed up it cracked twice and I got it tigged again then it cracked again next to the new tig and I got pissed and just mig welded th crap at out of it and it has lasted for a while. But I know its just a matter of time lol. This other manifold would be good for me because I have a t4 right now. So let me know guys.

Might be one of IAP's they had a couple different designs...

[gaehrings13]

cooool lol I bought it for 40 bucks and some real nice downpipe but its a 5 bolt flange. I will take pics of the dp tommorow. I payed 60 all together lol im so happy. Down pipe might end up on ebay im not sure.

Maybe a Boost Designs?

Looks just like my old Boost Designs mani, I'm sooo glad I got rid of that cracking pos, good luck with it, look at the welds at the merge, mine cracked there 2 times and then I tossed it in the trash, everyone was like man u should have sold it to someone, idts.

bottom mount t2 5 bolt flange? on that d/p

[FliMSiCaL]

damn man, tig welds dont normally crack if done correctly...people need to stop cheating and actually use filler rod every once in a while...

Boost designs

[Brandon93240]

Mine actually cracked all around the welds(the welds didn't actually crack), it was just cheap material and craftsmanship. The trimming and fitting was terrible which is just as bad as a ****ty weld.

[babowc]

looks like bd mani.

[turbo2nr]

+1 boost design

[gaehrings13]

I remember I used to go to there site and be like "oh man there kits are so nice" then boom they were gone lol. Are they still around I don't even remember. So i guess it wasn't worth the 40 bucks then. Oh well I will still try it.

[jmwenick]

I'd say it was worth $40. You can even get an SSAC mani for that much. If it cracks, get it welded. No Biggie, unless it tottally falls apart.

[Charlie240sxt]

I'm a welder i bet the cheap steel gave out not the weld

I see this alot at work

[gaehrings13]

Wow looks like i just bought a piece of **** lol. I didn't know there was so much controversy behind this manifold. Im still gonna put it on, I spent the money so i might as well try it being the moron that i am.

It all depends on which version of the BD manifold you got. The earlier versions were awesome.

One of my friends is running it right now & tracking it @ autox, gymkhana, drift days, and lots of daily - holding up fine this past couple months of hard driving.

From the looks of it, looks like the previous owner modded it - wastegate flange should be further away iirc - the mod that was done on yours addresses the boost creep issues @ higher boost levels (i.e. 10+).

So looks like you'll be good to go. These manifolds run $250-300 easy.

[gaehrings13]

Ya i saw the wastegate flange was put back a little. I still haven't put it on, I might take all the turbo stuff all of the car and sell the whole kit. I might be going sr20det or a 1jz more than likely a sr20. The car has been running for more than a year the way it is now. I might not even go turbo anymore lol. Someone buy my car!
