tanveer21 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 My toyosport manifold has developed a slight crack on one of the welds cad seems to only be boosting to .4 bar now from .6 bar and feels alot slower. Could i just get the crack welded untill i buy a new mani? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Yeah, get some bracing added should help improve it's strength is it just a standard ct9? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fizturbo Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Personally i would replace it soon as cause it will just crack again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You say this but I've had one that's not died, had the weight of a td05 on it, high egt's and a ewe flange welded on and still never broke in 5 years ish (I ran it for a year fault free, heat wrapped).

TurboTobz Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Get an ewg flange welded on seriously though, you'll get most the forum saying ohh my god!! toyosport lul, the fact is they are cheap and get you by until you can get something a bit more reliable. Some seem to last well. I'm guessing your running no management either which doesn't help with high egt's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thr still poo just like the speedvision poo. Granted they aren't high quality, but for what they cost you can't expect a lot better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The mild seem to do better than the stainless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Definately, forgot to mention that ^ Mine was, the stainless ones do seem to be of a lesser quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I had a proper look at a stainless one, theres a plate welded on and it actually said, 'this manifold was made from recycled kit-kit wrappers and pringles tin inner coatings' 100% true story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Did it mention anything about ep*5's being overpriced? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Nah it just said something else about people who criticise the price of certain ones for no valid reason are actually quite sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
