Turbo Manifold - Who makes them?

[jay]

I spect you'll find that combo to be an improvement..

Well, good news, Got in touch with Neukin, and they are now making my manifold. Decided to go external wastegate, and to top it off, they are even building me a down pipe. Looking forward to this!

sweet deal. hopefully doesnt break the bank either

Ouch

[FamiliaGT]

Your tellin me...

[bogaut]

thats gotta sting. but its properly made stuff that will last a long time

[Rocketman]

Resale value on the Neukin stuff is pretty good too. But still. Ouch

Yeah, well, I built this thing up in 09' and never got the bigger turbo setup I wanted. I finally am able to do it, and being such a hard thing to find, having one machined and fabbed in the US is worth it to me to do. At leaset I know Im not getting some chinese made product of poor quality steel, and nasty welds.

I was quoted $600-700 for a custom tubular manifold with a warranty and ceramic coated, also there's someone runing a .70 trim t3 on a miata top mount manifold I think he's had it for awhile with no issues.

Having it built over here does not guarantee you won't have issues.

I know its no garuntee, but its a hope. News on this, Its been almost 4 months and dont have anything yet. Was talking with Alex at Neukin until about september when his shop burned down. Sent me an email assuring me he would still take care of me and my build (at the final tune of $1300). I was very greatful, but asked if he would keep me updated. Well, the last month and a half has gone by without a word from him. I emailed him a few times politely asking for just an update or response on what was new, but nothing. Im beginning to get antsy as $1300 is a lot of money to me. I sure dont want to take this legally, and give him the benefit of the doubt. But if he doesnt get back to me in the next few week,s I will start pursuing legal action. I hate the thought of it though.

sorry to hear that man, hope it all works out

[jay]

OMFG... I just *knew* there was a reason for me to make my own!

[slownrusty]

Alex is a good guy, he would not screw you. I am sorry to read his shop burnt down, that is terrible news. Keep trying him, there are probably lots of customers with similar concerns that he is trying to make it right.

Crap that sucks! Alex seems like a good person, and the manifold he made for me was damn-good.
I hope this all works out.
