Yes but this requires buying a new turbo haha. i just bought a new turbo 6 months ago

 

Are bolts or studs+nuts used for the back two attachment points to the hotside?

 

I’m really liking that arctec mani. I bought a Driven Fab with dual WG a while back and barely used … wish I had seen these before that.

the video Rsmike posted us great! That’s a huge improvement in track time while dropping peak HP

 

Yea i wish i saw them before i replaced my turbo recently would have considered going reverse flow

 

I have the Evo X Artec manifold, and it is simply unmatched in quality.
Every single product they make seems to be a 10 out of 10

 

Its probably been posted somewhere but does anyone have a weight for the Artec manifold? We know the FP is heavier than stock, wondering if Artec is at least not heavier.

 

Artec's site doesn't have it listed but Plazmaman says it's 7 kg. I had no idea they also made a cast O2 housing for us, too bad it's a 3.5" v-band not a 3".

 

The X manifold is light. My Vband manifold is light. Like, I was surprised when I picked it up. Where we drilled it to weld on bungs for EGT and EMAP it's probably only 1/8 or 3/16 thick.

 

Plazmaman makes them or artec?

 

Artec makes the O2 to 3.5" V-band and it's on their website. I couldn't find the weight of the manifold on Artec's website so I went to Plazmaman's and found it. Plazmaman does not have the Artec O2 to 3.5" V-band on his site.

 

Sorry missed the post. All studs like a std setup

 

The ARTEC manifolds (I can speak to the X, as I've been running it) are made of 347 stainless steel. This is superior to say 310 which is used for the MAP EVO X manifold:

AISI 310 Stainless Steel vs. AISI 347 Stainless Steel :: MakeItFrom.com

Maximum mechanical temperature is of interest: 870 vs 1040 !!! (20% increase!)

By using a superior material, the walls can be thinner and thus the manifold lighter.

here is a pick of those two manifolds compared, from my build thread:

 

man that artec evox manifold looks skinny



dyno and new tune says I got some HP but I cant feel it in 2nd gear. higher gears feel stronger tho

 

Well I didn't think that until you showed me the Evo 1-9 manifold!
These are again pics from my build thread:

 

I suspect the Artec is also much easier to install? There appears to be significantly more access to the two bolts closest to the motor on the manifold to turbo flange.
