I recently purchased an S5 Turbo and Manifold from another member and am currently rebuilding the turbo. I was wondering if there were any stainless manifold options for the stock turbo. So far I haven't really been able to find anything that isn't ridiculously priced.

Here is what I've found:

If you've found anything of better value I am curious to hearing. Thanks and let me know what you have as well.

 

I understand that it's a T4 flanged manifold, where would I find one that doesn't have a external wastegate flange and is of decent quality. And if possibly have a twin scroll flange. Do you have any that you can recommend that you have seen that I can go nuts for...?

 

Theres tons of companys that make manifolds. ranging from $200-1200. With a Aftermarket manifold you run into a few more things. You would probably need a new oil Feed line to the turbo and a return line. Then you need a custom down pipe, and im sure im missing a few things. The sweet thing about a aftermarket manifold is you can run Externally gated, ditch the internal gated bs and weld the hole shut. That way boost creep is no issue and its way cleaner. The down side to all of this is $ & time. people that are impatient go crazy. When you break things down and look at them everything starts to add up $$$ and if you get a nice piece like a manifold for example, you want to be able to buy something that you can capitalize on in the future.

 

No its not..

 

+1

hate to see him spend his hard earned coin on a manifold that won't work and some crappy 25% "restocking" fee.

i don't believe there is anything aftermarket for the S5, a T3 flange may work with some modification but a T4 certainly will not. there is nothing wrong with the stock S5 manifold though, it flows more than enough for even most hybrid S5 turbos.

 

Thanks! That's all I wanted to know

 

Indeed.. with my BNR stage 4 its still no restriction
