If you'll read the ad, the seller says: NOTE: All of turbo parts and accessories do need to modification in order to fits perfectly. But don't pay any attention to that. The seller is lying. It all fits perfectly from the start, trust me. An eBay seller couldn't sell you something that didn't fit, they're just being modest. The pieces are all top quality and you should buy that kit right now!!! |
Temporary /thread.

Ok, I've done some heavy pruning to get this thread back on topic. If your post was one of the 30 or so that were deleted, don't get all butt-hurt and start complaining. I simply nuked everything that was written after the flame war started.
Here's some good empirical data from a user at Miata.net who recently had a welded T3 log-style S/S manifold fail pretty severely: MX-5 Miata Forum - Cheap eBay Manifold http://blindmind.smugmug.com/photos/...52_hW8Dn-M.jpg http://blindmind.smugmug.com/photos/...40_Dtiov-M.jpg EDIT: some further info from the owner of this manifold.

Should bolt up. No modification needed.

You need to add T-bolt hose clamps. They are obviously not listed or pictured.

And what do you think a "legit turbo" you would change to later would be? You have given me precious little information on which to base my answer. |
I was always curious why there's a whole for sale section of eBay turbo kits if we're all opposed to them? Is it just for forum sponsorship?

Yah, stainless steel is the worst material for turbo manifolds. Aluminum works much better. If youre really baller you will cast your turbo mani out of cement |

You need to add T-bolt hose clamps. They are obviously not listed or pictured. Since you know this, there is no reason to discuss it further. This would certainly depend on your goals. Would your future plans involve running more than around 100Kpa of intake pressure? And what do you think a "legit turbo" you would change to later would be? You have given me precious little information on which to base my answer. |

In all honesty, given the questions you are asking, you'd be way better off buying a used turbo setup from someone here. And please read through the DIY faq. It'll answer a lot of the questions you are going to have. |

I'm sorry guy, but have you even read through this entire thread? Just reading the very first post where three different turbo kits are discussed, and the parts they come with, will tell you if the kit is going to work for you or not.
