The small turbo will be an ebay GT28 with internal wastegate which I will port when it gets here, and another 38mm external wastegate and I'll port the manifold too. In the rear, GT45 with 60mm external gate.

The new T2 ebay cast manifold. It was 82 shipped I think? So cheap I decided why not, give it a go. If it breaks, I'll buy an FM manifold as I ran one of those on my first turbo build, it worked perfect for 5 years. Sold it to someone here last year...

I don't think it will break, but the design of it is so bad. Flow is going to be absolutely horrible. You can check in the DIY section and I have posted pictures of the one I have at my house now.

Sweet, I'll take a look. I figured the design would suck for flow. We'll see, I didn't set my expectations too high given the price. If it doesn't break I'll be very happy for the price.

I was at first, then changed my mind.
