im for fitting a gt34 turbo to my nova and im unsure of what manifold to use have been looking at the tx autosport one, anyone else hav any input, unsure abure about the 200 sx manifold route and a td05 setup is out of the window

The tx auto one is a nice manifold and would be a good shout with the warrenty, would the turbo sit with the compressor facing right in regards to how tight the manifold sits to the block?

A 200sx manifold would be cheaper with a new flange welded on, but some of the manifolds are cheap and nasty meaning they can crack easy. I have heard that bracing the turbo helps.

Td05 set up is the way im going. Jonlem ( james middleton) is hopefully going to sort me a tubular manifold just like his one, its uber sexy.

I would get a custom Nortec as per the picture below which saves you cutting the slam panel. This is a GT 30 attached to this one as well :)

love that car be good crack on full boost, the problem i have is i dont want to cut my slam panel, was thinking about the 200sx route but it moves the turbo over abit far and think a few of the runners will hit the slam panel
