T4 maifold - would you use it?

[norheim]

My furans t4 mild steel has cracked so i bought a new ss on forum. Main concern is collector/flange inner diameter.

The new one has 55mm shown in picture, which is way off t4 spec..

Engine has 600+ hp(With the furans )

What do you think?

Your new manifold isn't T4 flanged. The bolt spacing may be, however the outlet is KKK. It will restrict flow into a T4 hotside..

[norheim]

I agree, but seller does not see any problems with it.

Manifold was specified 38mm runner inside dia and 42 outside with optional flanges. I got a manifold with 42mm inside and 45mm outside dia. (3mm).

why?seller claims its right for bigger turbos like T4.

42mm runner and 55mm outlet? answer for that is i got the flange i ordered and it is not a problem.
-Actually i sendt the technical drawing of flange from precision's site.

In sellers tread pictures of T4 and other flanges looks ok. But mine does not look like any of those.

-Nice welding.
-Different types of tubing?
-Dirty and not washed out
-Damaged inlet flange

Welding looks nice, penetration isn't, you could chop off the flange and machine it out to T4 inlet size then cut collector so its a larger diameter and use a little tubing with correct perimeter for matching the T4

Good idea! But for 700 eur(570+130tax) i hoped to avoid modifications.. wont be cheap having a shop modify it in norway$$

Maybe Albert/akmotorsport admit this product is not so great after all? we'll se.

I definitely wont be using it.

I am the seller of the manifold. I just got third message from norheim with link to this thread.

Just need to add some things to the story.

1.

I agree, but seller does not see any problems with it

This is totally not true !

Offered norheim full money return on 11.08.2015 after his second message. I did not see the pictures then.

Customer always comes first. I will not argue with you. <...>
Please send the manifold to me and I will make you full refund.

2. I saw the pictures for the first time now of the manifold that norheim. Form the pictures I see that he got wrong manifold that was made for somebody else. I was not sending it and I just send norheim another PM now with my deep apology for mess we made. We offered:

a. return us the manifold and we will return all the money including the cost of sending the manifold back to us.
b. return us the manifold, we send him the right manifold, will return the money for sending us the fist manifold back and offer 100 euro extra as a apology.

I think the offers a or b are good. Also offered option c and let norheim propose his own option.
