opinions of jgs precision manifold
I just wanted to hear reviews of the jgs manifold. It looks good to me and comes with a 90 day warranty something I couldn't find on the bell website.
I did search first. I read some good, some bad but most of the bad seemed to come from no flex pipe in the exhaust and soft motor mounts.
I would appreciate your opinions, thanks guys.

as far as i know only one mainfold from bell has broken. If i was going jgs i would just make my own. If i was going to buy one it would be BEGI.
Log manifolds arent hard to make, hardest part is the flange (need a mill) if you have the flange you can go with a drill press to make the manifold.

I am going to start offering the JGS style log manifold. I am making one for ColoradoSpringsMiata right now. You can see images on my cardomain of my setup. I use stainless runners in a thinner wall, and with the optional external wastegate port, they are $350+shipping.

logs have always proved to work fine across vairous applications. JGS does nothing new by providing some weld-els matched to a flange. Buy the kit and weld it yourself and save $$$.
I'm sure the failed one you came across here was mine, which was the result of poor exhaust design. Now I'm using the BEGi manifold....not a replacement JGS.

how is the fit on the mani? I would rather not cut anything. Also did you have any problem routing the waistgate pipe? Looks like it would require tight bends. I wish they had put the wg flange on the top side and clocked it to the rear.

My P5 has a JGS, I welded it two years ago, and it now has ~ 40K miles. The turbo hangs from the bottom of the manifold with no bracing. Very happy with it
I just ordered from oil lines from them (another project) and have always been satisfied with the work and service. Also Lance is very knowledgeable and helpful when dealing with turbo sizes and such.
