Hey Guys
While Ben and I were testing how the manifold fits and where the oil return line should go we noticed the intake pipe to turbo wont clear the block.
Added several manifold gaskets plus shaving the block a little will fix this..
Thing is, how will the manifold seal with more than one gasket?
Thanks
please do not run more than the one manifold gasket.......
take the manfold to a decent/good metal fabricator/exhaust shop/performance shop and get them to rotate the turbo flange to suit ur needs
I can't as its a cast iron log manifoldQuote:

Borrowed an angle grinder off my dad so we'll see how she goes
Definiteley dont do a bodgy and double up on the gasket.
Tell Hao not to be slack sell you the silicone hose?
lol its all goodQuote:

moding your piping is going to be easier, safer and more reliable then running multiple gaskets. haha.
Do the right thing man.
I was trying to be lazy :oQuote:

the general trend with down pipes is to get one from the same company that makes descent turbo manifolds. As it requires the same strength and reliability.
Ebay items can't be gaurenteed and you'll end up replacing it cause it will break.
Also, are you running internal wastegate? If so that dump pipe won't allow the wastegate to operate properly.

theres others, just search.
yeah internal wastegate but it looks like I'm getting the dump pipe with the t28 :thumbsup:Quote:

yeah, internal wastegate needs a dump pipe that uses the entire area of the flange before tapering down to a 2.5/3 inch pipe.
What dump pipe is it?
Andy at AKMotorworks is now selling Peakboost stuff and they are great quality! you could look into getting a manifold and downpipe combo?
Yeah peak boost was the other name i was thinkin off. Thanks VTi bOi.
Custom one by Harken to match Limbos T28Quote:

Fit longer studs, get a 2nd gasket & a bare manifold flange from Hakan,
Space the exhaust manifold out from the head using the 2 gaskets & extar flange.
Around 8~10mm think should do the trick.
