    you tried bezerkely yet?
    looked at a sprinter at alobion park last year that had all the work done at screamin performance which is in fairymeadow i think from memory, maybe even the 4wd joint in north wollongong(ralph black dr i think) that does turbocharging i remeber seeing an add saying they do 4wd and passenger cars aswell.

    i know bezerkely can do them, but i think there made by variflow. i can get some made up but the car isn't exactly in a driveable condition. so i'd either have to wait til it's finished or buy something off the shelf.

    for an ae86 with 4age. turbo gt28R, dont really care if it's stainless or shed 40 black.

    I don't think ive seen them on Ebay but it would be worth a shot. I think most of the ebay ones have a t flange which would fit your turbo wouldnt it. I can't remember what the hks manifolds were mated to but maybe some import places could have one lying around since such turbo conversions are more and more frequent.

    As for a custom one you could pay anywhere from $400-$1000 depending on the place. I had a manifold done for $500 but it would prob cost me a couple hundred more now. Try an exhaust shop that does a bit of performance stuff. You could also try and make it yourself and get someone to weld it for you if you cant weld.

    i bought one of those ebay manifolds. I had to redrill it for a 16v as im sure it was setup for a 20v. Standard drill bits dont like stainless too much especially when they get stuck and your hand drill nearly rips your arm off!.

    It just take a coupla hours to redrill with a gasket for the marking of holes. Cheap enough too. I havent run the car with this on yet.

    I have gotten quotes for around 600 dollars to get a custom one made. Dont know of anyone in your area though.

    yeah i saw the ebay specials, but im looking for a high mount. i suggest you brace up that manifold too as cracking is pretty much gauranteed on the ebay stuff.
