Default FULL-RACE TURBO MANI

Still in search of the perfect turbo mani(i'm using the word perfect losely), does anyone have any negative feedback on the Full-Race turbo mani(cracking,fitment issue's,etc,etc,etc) or some positive feedback if any.

Your input is appreciated.

full race has some of the best manifolds in the business. you cant really go wrong and I believe they have lifetime warranty on them.

Not a fan of turbo location, really limits the size of the turbo. If you don't plan of going larger than a GT35 you'll be ok though. Wastegate location has never been my favorite either.

Thanks for your input Scorpion, have you had probs with your LoveFab mani?(cracking,harmonic balance noise,etc,etc,etc) I'm tryin to go with a liquid to air set up and don't like the turbo placement on the LoveFab GT1. When i spoke with the haed fabricator at Full-Race they said with a 30R i could spin the turbo straight up for a liquid to air set up.Still scratching my head on the turbo mani.

Has he had problems with cracking.

Oh Yea! He is not a fan of Lovefab.

Full race should be fine for you. You can get 600 rwhp on the GT35s I have seen.

Liquid to air has been done and more are on the works.

You've seen liquid to air set up on a Full-Race mani? and if so was the turbo turned so the hot pipe was pointing up at the hood from where the turbo is located?

East Coast/North Florida go see Stage 6 in Jacksonville.

West Coast of FL/Tampa go see 2nrWerks.

I've met Todd in Tampa. Great guy and he did some solid work on my car when I was in town early last year. I'm in Jax, no turbo or anything but I only take the S to Stage 6. They have a very good rep building custom for just about any car including the S. In fact, there is a crazy Ford GT right now in their showroom that has over 1300hp.

Not a full race with a liquid to air but several liquid to airs with custom manifolds.

It seems there's so select few turbo mani's out there for the S unless there's a few i have'nt found yet. I want to use a liquid to air set up but not a one turbo mani is set up for it. The results a friend locally has proven and shown me are astonishing in the cooling differences and run temps. I'm sold.

Liq to air is better by far. Go custom mani.
