Haven't used any of them personally, but the hooker manifold is really stupid looking. Plus you need to still create a piece to plumb the exhaust from their manifold, to the hot side on the turbo. I assume they did that so both T4 and T6 frame turbos can be used? But really to me it just looks like more hotside connections to potentially leak, and you need to build like a mount to support your turbo with their manifold.

I'd be looking for the most heavy duty looking log style manifold I could fit in the confines of the car that you can bolt the turbo directly to. I like the look of the ones on dirty dingo's site, there was another place making them out of cast stainless steel that looked nice but I can't find them now, or remember the name of the place.

i have to agree with the look on the hooker ones... i mean sure it probably works moar netter because science n sich but the price tag is astronomical.

Ive sourced a bare steel flange to build mine off of unless i uses the huron speed one... or something similar.
also online aliexpress is reasonable for things like flanges and turbos and sh*t... i mean you have to be careful you dont get like a picture of a turbo but thats the internet.

you can also read the sloppywiki and there is mention of someone who makes something similar. and pictures of something thats been abortionised onto a stock casting from what i can tell.
i think if someone even bought a huron log and used a stock manifold for the LH side like the 500-800 range would get you the sh*t you need to make the everything. of course double that for well covid. :banana: :ROFLMAO:
