    MTM EM versus S1 SQ EM

    Can anyone give any experience/opinions to which EM has any advantage in torque/hp between the mtm EM vs. S1 SQ EM? I would assume for power upto 450bhp these would be a good choice over the RS2 EM.

    Theres a fella selling both parts on ebay and I've heard quite good things about both ex-manifolds but which has got the advantage?

    I've got the turbo itch recently.
    Cheers mis amigos,

    Have you not considered a tubular manifold?

      IMO if i was gonna go for something other than RS2 EM, i'd def go for tubular, the costs arent too high and they should be far superior if they are of a good design and build properly

        Iam not familiar with any tubular EM that are available other than the frequent styles being offered up on Ebay. followed some of the guys' higher power motors with tubular EM and have only seen one that was given a really good review on here but if I recall the fellow is still working out availability. The rest seem to have very rough internals/snazzy welding and others that do have very good welds seem very bulky(heavy).

        take into account Iam a 7a coupe driver only now sticking my toes in the water when in comes to the turbo cars. Also partial to OEM

          I would only use the 034motorsport item, it's what I use.

          http://www.034motorsport.com/product...roducts_id=135

          The flanges can be for any turbo you like, although 034 do do a very nice range of turbos too, there is also a matching 3" downpipe.

            I've trolled their site and no doubt the products they offer are on par the best aftermarket option however $1500 is a big chunk of cash.

            Corey you got pm
