Mine is tapped for both t3 and t4, so if yours is the same then it would also have enough meat on it for this [a lot are already tapped for both, but some stood behind the door and so are only either t3 or t4]. Setting up for both flanges is a simple job, any machine shop could do it in a couple of hours and if you have your own tap and ie set you could do it yoursef pretty easy. They are one of the best flowing manifolds you can use and $500 is a good price..

i wouldn't have a clue how it would compare with a 6boost. but car makes 355hp on 15psi with a 3076 which seems to be slightly more then SOME cars with same setups on 16-17psi.

yeah ill leave it wrapped, and include the screamer pipe (its wrapped together with it)

im just still not 100% as a true twin scroll has 123 cylinders into on side of the turbo flange and 456 into the other where this looks different i need to be 100% as if its not a true twin scroll like a 6 boost for instance then it defeats the purpose of me having a twin scroll turbo

I used to own one of these, and there is internal casting that does separate the two sides from each other from memory. A photo of the outlet can confirm.

are you able to put up a pic of the flange i

Even the stock rb25 manifold are divided on the flange but its not a true twin scroll tho

1 1/2 of the flange needs to be from 123 cylinders and the other half the rest

yea its not a true twin judging from the pics if found 1 and 2 merge into the 3rd cylinder where true twin scroll are all separate till they meet the turbo flange

other than thread crap, why not just ask or do some research. The internal diameter of the pipes grow in diameter where the last meet the next, which dont cause an issue. They have been designed to work, and do. If you are not happy with them, dont comment here, its a for sale thread.

im just trying to make sure its twin scroll 100% before i make my purchase from him, I was hoping alot of people with knowledge would comment on this thread, Ive done research and searched alot and from what ive found its not a true twin scroll so it defeats the purpose of having a twin scroll turbo its on the basis of a stock manifold just better flow

all cylinders need to meet into into where the flange is for a twin scroll turbo to be affective im guessing these manifold are designed for a old style t4 flange turbo before twin scroll rear housing where used

It is a twin scroll but does not feature a single merge collector for all runners.

You can't compare a HKS manifold to a simple log style as it sits somewhere between the two types in its design as the runners are blended far better than a basic log. It has shorter runners than a 6Boost which may be helpful for better boost response but who knows how much better?!?!

Last I checked 6Boost are not exactly equal length (although they are close), as Kyle has stated that as long as you are close enough it makes almost no difference.

For a twin scroll to work you need to separate the front 3 cylinders from the rear 3 which the HKS manifold does for both the turbo outlet and wastegate port.

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
