If you could read properly you will see that he had these troubles before we became friends. It not an attack, just one of numerous example of a 6 boost manifold being very poor quality. Make what you will out of it, the bottom line is that particular manifold was crap when it left 6 boost. No two ways about it.

Fair call, I did miss that part.

I had a 6boost for a 2j engine, even a welder / fabricator with 28 years of real life experience said it was good. I am sure from time to time some do slip through the cracks - perhaps when a new apprentice starts or rush jobs - who knows. Could be a number of reasons but at the end of the day they do seem to have a good name and if you look under the bonnet at nearly every single car at a Jamboree event then there is a good chance you'll find a 6boost manifold.

Can someone post a CRG manifold in a photo...

Raw brokerage had some crazy angles going into the collector, 6 boost are quite shallow.

Pics or nothing!

I haven't got one yet, but look at their Facebook page?

They have a lot on their facebook page, had to go back to august to find a twin scroll/gated Rb manifold though, most people seem to cheap out and get single gate T3's :P

Yeah, not too sure why 6Boost told me it couldn't b done

I don't generally cheap out on things, do it once and do it right :)

I will be running single gate though[emoji14]still Twin-Scroll though :D

Everyone has a different way of skinning that cat..........I actually went with a HKS cast low mount and got it extrude honed and hi temp coated. Lots of new stuff on the market since I got mine, but they once had the highest flow for an exhaust mani, was a chart on SAU comparing several brands and they came out on top. But I'm sure time has passed HKS and me by by now.

The HKS was a true low mount, most so called low mounts are actually side mounts........is hard to see my turbo, and I liked the 'stealth' part. The external gate negates it a bit though.

How about the reinforcement which is non existent. Alignment is poor, lack of penetration, gas pores, cold lapping, unequal leg length. I could go on but it's not a passing contest. In the end you don't always get what you pay for. My standards may be higher but to me it is crap.

I can't comment on those attributes, I would need an example in front of me and a hammer to break a few of the welds.

Was about to say, i posted my low mount setup. Its nice once its all in there but man its a bitch to work on. On those days i wish i had a high mount but its fairly rare i have to touch it so can't complain too much

Yep low mounts can take a long time to fit, if you get a highmount and a mod plate then you'll be able to drool over the turbo when the bonnets up and be legal at same time... :D mmmm... fark yeah!!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
