WTB: a top mount turbo manifold

NickSLO240

G'day guys, I'm going through the process of turboing me 1987 Volvo 245 wagon. I've gotten a squirter block, am refurbishing my head with a kg2t cam, will be doing injectors, haltech, all that stuff yada yada. Just wondering if anyone has an exhaust manifold that i could buy off them. I live in western Sydney but I'm chill to pay for postage if required

Get hold of a pipe fitter/ welder and have one made.

That is an option that I have considered, i was mainly hoping for a cheaper option cause apprentice wages lol

Why not do a J pipe off the NA manifold?

Cheap and quick and easy

So what a j pipe going from the bottom of the original turbo exhaust manifold up to on top of it so it acts as a top mount?

Use the NA manifold and yes

This is a 16v version but you get the idea

Ok that makes sense, so legit just a pipe that goes from manifold, has the Wastegate on it (I think) to the turbo flange

Philia_Bear

yeah, and if your doing an internal gate turbo its just a pipe from the manifold flange to the turbo flange

I've got nice cnc exhaust flanges if you want to get one made from scratch.
