      New downpipe and intake also adds to the cost of a tube manifold compared to a cast. If you want a cheapo I would go for an ebay wagner evo copy rather than a cheap tube mani.

        Cheers Michael for the messages.

        Andy, I have a 3" downpipe to go with it anyway and have been speaking with Michael about one you told him about (cast) which looks like the one I might be going for.

        Thing is though, I wanted to go stainless with a better flow if possible without being way to much money. I also wanted the gubbins of the bay to remain largely in the places they should be and a friend of mine has just pointed out that those stainless ones I posted about originally would move things to new locations which isn't what I wanted to be doing

        It's a shame there isn't a reasonable stainless option for a fair price (read affordable lol) that keeps items in stock locations.

          albert here sells some nice tubular manifolds around 450 euro i think.
          i have had a cast manifold from arlows in the past and was very satisfied about it with rs2 turbo on it

            Unfortunately that's twice the amount I can afford at this point in time but then again these things aren't cheap for a reason I guess.

            I would love a stainless item but I don't think it's going to happen but the advice I've been getting on the cast ones has been great!

                    I have a guy who's going to hep me get a 3" 034 downpipe to work with it but thanks guys. Question still remains though, does the rs2 turbo bolt onto this manifold or do I need to change the flange on the manifold or get an adaptor plate like I've heard 034 used to sell?

                      My rs2 turbo bolted straight on with a wiggle no flange is needed. Don't worry about lip just make sure you use metal gasket not the cheap gasket and you'll be fine.
