i fitted the exact same manifold and elbow to my friends mk3 astra let with a t3 turbo, he bought the lot of ebay and what a waste of money they are!!! the one i had didnt line up correctly with the bolt holes and nuts and bolts had to be grinded down and you basically had to assemble it all together with the turbo before putting it on the engine as access to the back turbo securing bolts would not do up tight and kept blowing like a biatch! plus we had to ditch the power steering setup aswell due to the fack the turbo inlet was right up against the pas bracket.

Yeah thats modifying engines for you. I'm not saying the manifold in question is any good, merely pointing out that you kinda go it alone when fitting a Garret to a LET or indeed performing conversions of any kind.

What you describe is an inferior product no doubt available on ebay, sadly all too common. Such is the desire to meddle with cheap mass production cars!

I guess its each to their own, i just dont see the point of risking it when you can buy a tubular equal length manifold for a evo 4-8 twin scroll turbo for £99, i personally wouldn't take the risk.

Davd.

shorely thats just more cheep crap just more work fitting to a let

same crap different fitment

i agree it is but the point i was making is, its equal length which i would much rather choose if i was going to buy cheap crap! i dont see the point in buying anything other when you can pickup one up for £99.
