Would anybody know if the p.e turbo kits has the 'T3 flange' welded onto the manifold s:?: :?: s:?: I think it does, but would like to no for sure..
Thanks..
Sorted now...
If anybody is interested the P.E turbo is a IHI..And flanges are not similar to the T3..
Why were you asking Graham? Still having problems with the original manifold?

The manifold is still holding out, just dont know long for though s:( :( s:( Saw a good manifold on SC for sale, but has got the T3 flange fitted..Might even do a custom jobbie... s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Bear in mind that (in my experience on a few other cars, at least) any tubular stainless manifold will eventually crack - it's not an if, it's a when.
The only way around that is to go for an exotic material like Iconel (which is expensive, to say the least) - but far, far more resistant to cracking (assuming you can find someone who can weld it properly - I seem to recall someone telling me that the thing you're welding should be sealed up and filled with the same gas you're using around the electrode, for a start).
Yes, there are a few P.E turbo manifolds giving up the ghost now, but looking at the Haas and C2 manifolds are of a more 'beefier' design..

Well they're log manifolds (though the C2 is a kind of hybrid, but more of a log than anything else really) - but AFAIK they're also not stainless - though I stand to be corrected on that one.
