so i recently installed a new turbo on my car and got it tuned today and two minutes after i left ams i could not build any boost at all ZERO PSI. so i turned around and headed back to ams which they then performed a boost leak test wasegate test and bov test so anyways all that came back good so i told them that was enough and drove the car home. when i got home i decided to take my cat back off to make sure something didnt happen to it once that was clear i pulled off my intake and spun the turbo blade and it only spun one time around so i went the other way and it got stuck again so i dedcied to pull off the manifold and dissassemble the hotside and pull it out. i could not figure out why i could not get it apart so after ten minutes of fiddling i got it out. once out i noticed there was a 1inch by 1/2inch piece of steel stuck in the hotside so i looked in the manifold and noticed the little divider they put in there snapped and went in my turbo. so i checked the turbine wheel and it looks good thank god there is a super strong wheel in that turbo. my turbo is ok and i new MAP short runner manifold is on its way.

so if anyone has a megan racing exhaust manifold on there car i would advise to remove it right away or you will be without a turbo oh and there is 3 cracks in the manifold so it is not even worth buying this manifold. i have only had the manifold for about 9 months now.

 

wow, your lucky the turbo didnt blow. I wouldnt have left the shop until the problem was solved. you must have tiger blood in your veins lol

 

yes i am very happy it did not blow but i am also not the kind of person that likes to pay other people alot of money to fix my car, and there was nothing they could really do because i dont get the new manifold till tomorow

 

thanks for the heads up

 

ya idk if this aided in blowing my motor up or not but i would NOT advise buying this manfold, sorry megan racing but that thing is a pos

 

Good to know.

 

Full race manifold 1528
megan 300
I guess you really get what you pay for, Have you contacted megan and do they back there product with any type of warranty

 

Wow, just the right amount of luck was on your side today. Hope you are able to get it fixed and up and running strong again soon!

 

megan manifolds have sucked for years now, stay away from them unless you only gona run only 8psi.

 

YOu got any pics of the manifold piece that broke and the manifold itself??

 

has megan racing been contacted about this? id be really interested in how they handled this. but im glad you're not fully out of a turbo.
