Sorry it's not stainless steel and mandrel bent.
We don't have suckers willing to pay thousands of dollars for it.
Regardless how it looks, it should still work very effectively.

I use to have a custom SS manifold setup with 60-1 T04. I was happy with it, until I took a ride in my friend's FD with the GT3540.
After that, my turbo seems really laggy. This is why, I've decided to go with this turbo and manifold combo.


Just buy the GT35R from ATPturbo.com with the T4 footprint option.


It should bolt up to your manifold.

They also have VBand adapters for the exhaust outlet if you don't like the GT style.

I have GT35R's with T4 footprint if needed. I can match ATP's price whatever it may be.

Or he could just buy it from Zero R (A-Spec) who can get him the same turbo, match ATP's prices, get him all the flanges and gaskets he needs, and on top of that he supports the rotary community. Not to mention the fact that A-Spec are some of the best guys to do business with.

Ditto to Broken09.

Hell, think about our forum community before you shop, man. If your money is going somewhere, shouldn't it go to our friend?? And, from posts, Sean seems to be a hell of a guy to deal w/ anyway. If the price is the same, why not?

I guess the other thing people don't keep in mind is that companies such as Greddy and HKS make kits and products for our cars, but if you look at the number of changes that are made to the kits to improve it they are few and far between to my knowledge. However, if we take for instance A-Spec's 35r kit, components of it have been modified numerous times in the past couple of years in order to improve it and meet consumers/customers needs and wishes. I'm not saying the big guys don't make good kits, but I'd rather spend my money on a kit that is continually improved.

The reason that I'm going the cheap route is because i got other thing going on in my life other than cars. And secondly, I love working on my cars when I'm free from my wife and kids. Yes, I shop with online/rotary shops. I relize that we are a small and unique group of people. Kinda like Apple computer users.
