****e !
get what you pay for but at that price id give it a shot and if it ****s up just buy another lol
Not a LET wonder just yet, but generally speaking it's hard to tell how good or bad something is till you try it really.
It looks good but that's all you can really tell, unless you know of someone that's tried it.
expand pls mate.:thumb:Quote:

not only that but that doesn't look equal length to me.

ahhh, the C20XE turbo, they're quite rare
yeh looked at this a week ago, was like hmmm dont the mean C20LET but yes cheap and worth a shot. what harm could it possibly do. its hardly going to bugger up on you. well you would hope so. just wouldnt put mad power through it
not trying to shoot you down mate but how many manufactures use equal length as standard? i know thats for manufacturing and price reasons ect but you have got to remember there designed to cope with the most un educated idiots abusing it. also theres alot of downfalls too equal length setups aswell that people tend to over look because saying equal length seems to be the in thing too say you have gotQuote:

All that extra length has a massive effect on spool times and turbine speed ect due to the loss of exspansion in the exhaust gasses by the time they come to be utalised to spin the turbine they have lost alot of energy due to contraction and heat loss.
dont get me wrong im not saying they are a bad thing by any means but im pointing out a few of the down falls that get massivly over looked when choosing a manifold and normaly people get sucked in thinking there the best because there the most exspensive when in reality for some aplications and the type of use the car will get something simpler would be just as efficiant and create much the same gains at usualy half the cost
there are alot of down falls to the type you posted aswell such as hot spots ect ect but unless your building something with a specific use target torque band and extreamly high out which i doubt or you wouldnt have asked the question to start with because you would have already known the anwser
then something like you posted would be fine for everyday use
only thing i would say in regards to that actual manifold is that the quality of the way its built may be a little suspect and likely too crack over time
there is a mass of info out there on choosing the right manifold for your specific aplication and loads of info on the pros and cons for every type on the market if you want to know abit more and in more detail on pros and cons a good place to have a look is maxboost website alot of god points hints and tech stuff on there for the c20let
