Full Race T3 Twin scroll manifold needed

Alright so I am building a hta3076r(with a .78 a/r twin scroll hotside) I planned on using the full race manifold, but it seems that no one has it in stock. Vendors tell me 3-4 weeks... Full race themselves say 8-10... Anyone know why theres such a long wait? I know of like 6-10 people if that on here that run there kit(with great results in my opinion) but are they really selling that many?

Anyhow if anyone knows somebody who wants to sell me theres or any vendor out there have one.. Let me know

Also give me your thoughts on the TS HTA3076r(57lb wheel) (BTW forced performance wants $550 for the upgrade instead of 450.. anyone know why? Are they using the same compressor housing as the HTA35r?) I am shooting for 450ish awhp.. Looking for great response and good power. I will be mainly running E-85 at around 26-28psi. Does anyone think I will have problems with surging? I know evodan didn't have any issues with his regular 3076r, but he did have some with the higher flowing gt35r... Any advice/opinions welcome.

Hey just ordered my t4 manifold today waiting period is 8 weeks at the time being, but last week when i had it all priced up the waiting period was 4-6. So i think the longer you leave it the longer till you will see it.

Is it just one person doing all the work?

All the work? I am letting FP do the compressor upgrade.. Then I am installing everything.(having a local exhaust place[they do great work]build me a downpipe/o2 housing, and dump-pipes for the wastegates) Then I will be getting a revamped tune from Mitch @ vividracing for 93 and e85..

How about buying a T4 Twinscroll manifold and changing the flange to a T3 TS Flange?

The reference to Walker in the post above refers to MPFabrications, who is "Drifto" on this board. He makes TS manifolds, such as Ted B.'s setup. Very high quality hand made parts. Easily comparable to Full Race in quality.

I have talked to walker a couple of times. I agree he does top-notch work, the problem is he wants 1400+ for his manifold. So for the same price I can do the full-race version that runs twin gates. I know this isn't a complete necessity, but I like the idea of a true twin scroll.(just wish it was two 38's instead of two tial 44mm's.) I am sure the response of drifto's(mpfab) setup is close to evodans(full-race), however the dyno logs show otherwise....

Evodans 3076r shows peak torque right at 4k rpms, while drifto's is at 4400 rpms(which is similar to my friends AMS 3076r kit) so in other words for the money I'm spending I dont want to take a chance.

Anyhow thanks to Revmoto I have another possible manifold choice which could be better overall than both, so I'll keep you updated.

FULL RACE makes a lot of manifolds for quite a few applications. Your wait time is NOT how long it takes to make your manifold, it's an honest time quote given based on their current list of product to build of orders that have come before you. It's that simple. They have at least a dozen employees on the manifold production line itself, and the robotic welder is running the entire day. Just an FYI. The product is second to none, but if you can't wait, you can't wait. At least they are telling many people up front the actual wait time. They are currently working on their lead times, and reducing them, but for now it is what it is.
