Quick question.

What exhaust manifold are you using?

 

Good Question Callum, its cast backdraft one which was modified for external gate with T25 flange.

 

I was going to say that looks like a Backdraft kit but they didn't do an external gate, makes sense if it's been modified though.

I can't see there being a whole lot of difference if any in response, just do the necessary calculations to make sure that surge isn't going to be an issue.

What are your main reasons for changing?

 

It looks so different to this from backdraft?

Am I missing something?

 

I'm looking at their manifolds but to me This pic looks like it's all mounted the wrong way round.

Surely the down pipe would be too close to the belt?

 

Ones top mount ones under slung isn't it?

They only sell one manifold :?

 

The one you are looking at is the underslung/bottom mount version.

The one that the OP is running is the top mounted version.

I'm learning :lol:

 

I think the gtx 2867r is a fantastic turbo - tbh I had considered swapping my gt2871r as I get surging between 4200 and 5k and the compressor map on the gtx offers a much better flow match as the surge line moves to the left

It seems this manifold is only available as part of one of their BT part buys.

I have emailed them about a desperate buy for two manifolds

 

You ain't looking in the right place

Why would you want one of those anyway Callum?

Well I need a high flow manifold that fits my garret turbo.

If there is a better alternative feel free to point me in the right direction buddy

 

That's exactly my point......that won't fit your Garrett turbo - check what turbine flange you are running. I can almost guarantee it won't be T25 sized....probably T3 at least.

I like that. Is this what you are running?

Any issues with temps? Did you get yours thermal coated before fitting?

It is a T3. Will the one Matt linked fit?

 

Mate seriously.......look at the link yourself! lol

@callum, you might have issues with CTS mani as i bet its fro LHD cars. But if you want I will sell you my manifold, screamer and GTX2860 (6 months old 2000miles) and .86 exhaust housing. PM me if interested.
