Im in the market for a new manifold. Which one is better......Megan Racing or the DC Sports???

 

a manifold for the stock turbo or for a bigger turbo

 

For Stock Turbo...checkout FULL RACE, David Buschur sz it's good or the RnR manifold, their own dynoed good as well for an EvoM member..if u do a search u can find it!

Megan...not worth the $ in my opinion..I have one gained a little whp..lost some mid whp and torque.

 

there's also gtspec

but have you thought about just port/polishing your stocker?

 

What about for aftermarket turbo?

 

To answer your question, I would go with the dc manifold. It looks better in quality.

And to make a suggestion, why not go with a BR ported manifold? It's more cost effective and is proved to make similar power to a tubular manifold.

 

Do any of the tubular manifolds make provision for egt sensor placement?

 

full race period. Find my thread in show and shine for pics and info.

 

Shearer, Full Race, JIC if you have money to spend.

Maxford, DC Sports, Megan, if your tight on money.

 

shearer is tight
i would buy that if i have alittle more money

 

Full race is a nice piece, but the Invidia is the best looking on the market. I'm not sure about the flow, though.

 

Its for a stock turbo on an EVO IX. The issue i have with the busher is that i have to send him mine and be car-less until he ships me the new one. Is the O2 housing worth it??

 

Best bang for the buck is stock ported and coated manifold. You can find a used stock one in the private for sale forums for less than $100. Yes the 02 housing is worth changing out. Ebay 02 housing has been proven to make power, but is prone to cracking because it's doesn't have a brace and is made of really thin steel.

 

i have not heard of many o2 housings cracking... i think i've heard of just one. the aftermarket EMs are prone to cracking if you have an ebay o2 housing... but if you just port/polish your stocker and get an ebay o2 housing, you should be fine.

 

That is just hearsay. Name one person who has had their 02 housing crack. David Buschur has said before that he has not seen one yet. It's the tubular manifolds that are prone to cracking when adding an 02 housing without a support bracket.
