Problem solved!

Post by Foxy »

Well we all know the exhaust manifold is the weak point of the turbo engine. Ive managed to find a place that sells custom manifolds for the 406 turbo.

Only problem is, they cost a fortune so I better get saving!

yep i been posting about dp engineering for ages !!!!!
anyway you will also need a downpipe (turbo>cat) and thats expensive from them too and also need an adaptor flange or new turbo since it wont fit the stock pug turbo.
to do the conversion your looking at ?800 tbh

I was quoted ?800 for a performance manifold conversion about two years ago. That was from a local specialist. At first I thought they were taking the smeg but now it looks like they knew their stuff.
