I am looking at the below manifold from a seller on craigslist. The seller bought his car with it attached and has since swapped the engine. He says it had a TD04 on it with a custom plate but its built for a TD05. Any info would be great if you guys know anything about it.

This is for a 1.6

Thanks

 

Looks like your typical china special manifold. I'd stay away.

 

Don't buy it.

 

I should mention its $40 but I guess that is not that relevant. Not a good idea to build a turbo kit around a bad manifold?

 

its a great idea. what could possibly go wrong?

btw I have a LEGITIMATE good manifold for sale. right now. in the classifieds.

 

If only I had the 1.8 to go with that manifold

 

Yeah bro, but it is $40?

OP if you build your setup around a shitty manifold, you are going to have a bad time.

 

The fact that it's $40 is extremely relevant. I was 99.9999999999999% sure it was a **** ebay manifold, but if it's $40 that makes me 100% sure.

 

You are probably right. And this may even be that shitty ebay manifold in kit form;

350hp? Can the 1.6 even do that? haha

 

As long as you run allofit through the stock MAF as shown in those photos, and don't tune the ecu, you'll totally be fine.

 

Thanks for the advice everybody
