    Default Modifying turbo manifold, who do i see?

    Hi guys,

    I have a AE93 GTi corolla with a 4AGTE.

    The current manifold sits the turbo way to low and as a result i cant get a good drain setup. the manifold looks like a custom job (professional or backyard not sure but its definetly isnt a ebay manifold )

    What id like to do is modify it to sit the turbo higher in the bay, who would you recomend for the job ( DIY'er that has EXP welcome) and what would i expect to pay?

    Alternatively, would it be easier/more cost effective to get a new manifold made and what is the usual going rate for this? and who would i see?

    Cheers
    Dave

    Remember you may need to modify the dump pipe depending how much higher you move the Turbo.

    Rep points are for those who feel inadequate in other areas !

    It sounds like you want to move your turbo a fair bit, so it may be easier=cheaper to just plumb in a little sump and diaphgram pump with a return, which would be much easier than redoing manifold/dump/intake pipe
