NOT sure on bracing due to only getting the hotside and it came with no clamps.. but all pipes weigh about 85 pounds so it seems like some sturdy material and it looks to be 2.5 runners and and log thruout but the downpipes and rest are 3.5 or 4. THAT manifold is pretty heavy so im sure once i have the turbo added to it im gonna need to add extra bracing somewere

 

I would suggest it, its hard to tell by the pic but looks like the same material alot of import guys use for turbo manifolds and seems like those are the ones you always see cracking or breakiing.

Places like kbracing and others use a schedule 10 or bigger pipe and weld els which are extremely strong. 850 isnt a horrible deal though

 

YEA I FIGURED id give it a try ill keep u guys posted im just waiting on a wastegate to fit this setup

 

yea keep everyone posted on results for sure, what turbo are you going with

 

IVE GOT 70mm i bought from them about a year ago i used with a low mount set i had and ive had no problems with it,,kinda why i figured they cant be to bad.

 

The hot side pipes on my kit were .090 or .098 which is a really good size. I can mic them again tomorrow to confirm the thickness. I am going to run a BW S485, but I will make a brace for the turbo regardless.

 

Yea i was thinking it looked like around 14 gauge, good info to know

 

AS you can see i had to move the coolant jug away from the turbo because the bottom hose was touching
