as

mentioned works fine for me, but i am probably not running more than 330-350.

Whats the verdict on this one? The 5 Cyl has no probs with a log manifold?

I agree, anyone that encounters anything mentionable at all about this manifold when using it, pros or cons, please share it here with the community

[urquattro-island]

let us

say we can, keep this thread alive, and post our wiews on this manifold as, we seem to be 2-3 that are going to be using it

Very true, it's a cheap upgrade thats the whole point

Glad we came to a consensus

am running this at the moment, and its working fine, garret T04e/kkk26, bolted straight on, but needed grinding for the wastegate to settle right. For the money you pay its a good one. Have been running it for 5000km now and works fine so far..

Seems reasonable enough, please let us know if you ever encounter any problems with the EM, other than have to grind it off a bit when assembling.

OK, I guess my question (asked here http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31081) has been answered. I'm definitely buying one for my 200 20V.

You always get what you pay for unless somethings on sale, then you get more than you payed for.

Yes as said before, if I'm not valuing my own time wrenching away on my car, then there is no real harm in testing it because they're so cheap.

You get what you pay for with this manifold.

Lupo911 has some views on it posted on the forum, basically it's not made from the same material as the RS2 and Wagner RS2 EVO manifold and is not as heat resistant so will crack due to no nickel content.

I fitted this STR a year ago on a RS2 setup and had to problem flowing it to the max. I took it off after 10k kms, because I went the Wagner Evo way due to further upgrades of turbo (GT3071R). I saw no strange things (cracks, etc.) on the STR when I took it off the engine. You do need to modify the WG flange a fit with grinding away some material to get it fitted properly, but that's not too difficult. Cheap upgrade, with probably nice money for value if you go the RS2 route.

So what you are saying is that it's not flowing enough for the GT3071R but will do well with the RS2 spec turbo and power?
Nice to hear someone tested it on here aswell.

i hope i had the time and knowledge to do most things on my car.I have learned many things though,i cant complain.Although i still want the important stuff done by someone with good experience on these cars,especially when lots of $$$ will have to be payed if something goes bad due to wrong fitment...
