OBX header for stock twins??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6770
Check out this link. Has anyone used this header? I sent them an email asking if this header will work with the stock twins and they said yes, but I didn't find anyone using it with twins here when I searched. Do you think it will work with a stock airbox w/ kn, hks dp, and 5zigen exhaust without fuel upgrades? Do I need to worry about blowing my motor? It is completely stock except for the parts listed above. Thanks.

No it is for a T4 flanged turbo and HKS style wastegate..


It will not work with the stock twins..


It has been used by people here.. It will only work with a small TO4 turbo unless you make an adapter to give it more room.

I think you should stay away from this until you learn more.. going single turbo without the help of a competent tuner, you will end up walking..

Yeah, I actually don't want to go single anyway. I want to stay with some type of sequential setup. Most likely the BNR Stage 3's eventually. Thanks for the info. I guess their email support person doesn't know what they are talking about.

How large a T04 is too large?

Can you run a T04s? t04r without a spacer?

thanks

Personally, I would stay away from anyone who lists a turbo manifold on ebay as a 'header'. Maybe that's just me?

Well it isn't like he made it.. he is just some reseller of rice.. And OBX is not a great brand.. but from what people say it is a decent manifold.. And alot of people consider tubular turbo manifolds headers.. (Even though they are not)
