search and don’t waist your time or money on it. I bought it and returned and still trying to get my money back the manifold it crap and the welds inside of the collectors are scary to look at.

Basically if you dont mind touching it up its easy to make it useable. I just wouldnt use it out of the box.

Well when you buy a gt35 and spend over 1100 on it and you put it on that manifold with those very bad welds inside the collector that will someday brake a part and destroy your turbo trust me you will never buy one again. I did the same thing but after looking at it i will not bolt up a gt35 to that manifold.

The welds in my collector are no more. I cut the triangle plate completely out so its just an open space now. No worry's i made sure any loose or thin peices of metal were knocked off inside. I mean its not perfect in any way it does need ALOT of cleaning up and if you feel like its worth the effort then I say go for it. Its only money though haha.


I've seen that picture before, mine wasnt even 1/4th that bad at all. they just got the worse of em i geuss.

Its a gamble, honestly if you dont have the extra cash to play with i wouldnt advise doing it unless your 100% confident that you can fix it. I'll post some pic of what i did to the collector on mine.

the downpipe isnt 2.5 who told you that? this inside of the piping is 3"

The flange itself is 2.5 because thats the size of the outlet on the turbo.
