There is no such thing as a "dual scroll" manifold......

Picture #5 and #6 clearly shows that to NOT be the case . Sure it'll work, but not like it's supposed to. Good luck.

yeah. Like I said it won't be a perfect truly divided manifold due to me not wanting to run 2 wastegates. It will spool much better with my divided exhaust turbo than an iron log manifold though which is what I wanted.

Smogsux the manifold is awesome! I have one that Ryan made for me this past November as well. I've got a Holset H1E on the way and I can't wait to see how fast is spools. I have a Master Power T61 on it now and it spools A TON quicker than my last manifold. I have no worries about this manifold, Ryan is a skilled and educated fabricator. Quality character as well.

Lot of haters in this thread, First off pic 5 clearly DOES show it is the case. Unless you can't see the clearly visible half circle sticking out into the runner. Schedule 40 is not necessary, schedule 10 is fine, 16 gauge stainless will work in some cases for WG runners and such just fine.The whole truly divided thing get blown out of proportion on here too many times. It's a street car built on a budget. If he had the money and time I'm sure it would have been different.

Thanks for the compliments! I drove my car to my mom's to wash it and everything is hooked up. Tried driving to Karack's shop the next day, but my car caught on fire haha

details in link:

And yes I know it's my fault. I should have waited for my turbo blanket and exhaust wrap to come in...and I should have rerouted the battery cable haha


Pictures of turbo mounted:




I'll get one final picture once I clean all the residue from the fire extinguisher out of the engine bay and repolish everything again -_-

Sadly, no. It's already on my car and I don't want to take it off haha. My dad's friend has been a welder for 30+ years and he said the welds looked solid inside and out.

When you post pics back up of your setup, could you include a few more pics of your oil drain and feed lines going to the turbo? I'm doing a H1C swap and I just wanted to see what parts you used and the overall clearances. Thanks
