Sources for divided turbo manifolds?? OBX?

Okay, I apologize for posting this all over the forum, but I'm still trying to locate a divided manifold for my To4e turbo. I know I could make one, but I thought if I could find a reasonably priced one, I would just do that.

Anyway, I've seen the OBX ones on ebay, but there are none there right now.

Anyone know a source for these? I've emailed several companies today, so hopefully some will let me know.

It doesn't have to be the OBX one, I just need something reasonable -- otherwise it looks like I'll be making my own.

thanks!

The OBX will not work on the 2nd gen, try RPM, A-Spec, Shane racing, XS, RX7 store, Gotham racing, and so on...

OBX will work with a spacer. We just installed one on a friends FC.

From what I've read, it depends on your turbo, but as little as 5mm. My plan is to buy the racing beat flange and use that as a spacer -- have heard of others doing this w/ much success.

SSAutoChrome actually emailed me back and said they sell them for $225, which is interesting because their buy it now price is $275 on Ebay and starting bid of $175. Anyway, thanks to all, I did find a new one for $200 shipped from another member of this forum.

Thanks!!
