So Ive done my research and there have been a few threads in the past about this manifold and some people were saying that they were going to use them and post up what they thought about it and some people stuck with the "stay away from ebay parts" side. Well Those threads are over a year old and noone posted results. I wanted to see if anyone has this manifold installed and if they have had any problems or not.

Also, I wanted to know if this manifold will fit/work with the greddy kit and if the greddy T518Z Turbo will bolt right up to this manifold. I plan on upgrading my greddy kit in the future to a gt3076 and bigger injectors/retune. Anyone know if this mani will bolt right up to it no problem?

Also any advice on anything I should upgrade or check before I turbo the s2k.

Thanks in advance!

 

I know nothing of the quality or fitment of the OBX, it looks good and seems to have a life time warrany. I think there may be one person actually using it though. I don't think the greddy turbo would fit, the flanges I think would be differnt, the may be some kind of t3 to t25 adapter. You could however use the obx mani and a new turbo and adapt it to the the rest of the kit.

 

it is a copy of the full-race v.1. Instead of buying the copy, i bought the real thing. I gained a bunch of power compared to my UR manifold!

 

Save the money and put it towards a better kit. If you buy a manifold and a new turbo and injectors + the cost of the greddy kit you could have gone inline/full race with some $$ leftover. Anyways, I dont see the point of getting the greddy turbo unless you need CARB.

 

obx manifolds crack like once a month, i know someone who went through three of them in about 3 or 4 months, save more money and get a real manifold!!!

 

or buy a welder

 

i mean they crack everywhere! my friend tried welding cracks then other cracks would form. its just not worth the money when you can get a pfab manifold for not a bad price

 

The turbo won't fit. That Greddy has a smaller flange than the OBX. The OBX should have a standard T3 flange. IIRC, the Greddy has a T2x flange.

pfabs is 400 for the log ish one and 1k for the tubular.

 

Not only does OBX steal their designs from US companies, their stuff is crap! You'll blow more money and time in having to fix the OBX shit instead of just buying the real deal in the first place.
