Hi guys i know most of you run 6cylinder engines but i cant have this luxury here in greece,so i have to stick with my M42 engine.I was wondering if any one knows were i can buy a turbo ex.manifold in Europe.It has to be for top mount turbo with a T3 flange.I know 666fabrication but it is too expensive to import from the states you know customs e.t.c. Any help is welcome Many thanks.

Im Not sure if this would work on your motor but im guessing it will.
You can flip your standard manifold around and re-drill and re-port the manifold and attach the turbo to it.
If you contact blingsta he has one on his motor.
Also check this section as recently this was discussed here:
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... ic&t=76135
Its a lot cheaper than buying one.
Ive also read on other sites of guys making their own manifolds, need to be handy with the welding torch though.
Also type in E30 turbo manifolds in EBAY and there are some American ones for around £140 but been told the quality is questionable.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Thakns all of you for replying ill see what i can do.As for the e-bay manifold its not bad at all.I recently bought one for a M20 engine and it looks ok concidering the money i paid.It cannot be compared with the ones made by 666fabrication but its more than good quality and fits on the engine without problems.I guess that if someone just wants a low budget turbo mod for a 6cylinder e30 this will just do!!!
