I am using a FD ssautocrome manifold on my FC. It is a N/A so I had to use a spacer to clear the 5th & 6th port.

This shows a T62 with the spacer.

This shows the position of the wastegate. The view is from under the car.

This shows the engine in the car. The turbo is tight with only 1/4 to 1/2 clearance from the fenderwell.

As for their manifold.....I had problems with the flanges. The turbo flange was warped and the hole didn't perfectly match for the turbo or wastegate. It needed some modifications.
With OBX I didn't have any of these fitting problems....however...it did crack on me..

The manifold will outlast the engine if you don't go standalone.


I have the FC manifold in my FB and so far so good. I also had to do some small modifications but it worked out great.

no but I got a welder I know to take the universal flange for the wastegate off and weld on a TiAl wastegate flange and it was pretty simple.
