The manifold isn't that hard to make. I have 2 cracked ones sitting in the garage, just cut 3 inchs down the pipe and log it... not difficult if you know what you're doing. It will take a few hours of actual work, not planing... and it will be a log style

go ahead, build a manifold that will actually fit under the intake manifold with a turbo, install it on the jeep, and get it running.

then, you can post " "

not sure what he is running for a turbo... but I know a local guy running 6 psi on a t3/t4 hybrid and putting down around 300hp (at the wheels)
