S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Kings performance turbo good or bad?

The difference between schedule 10 and schedule 40 is significant. My FBM manifold (40) was easily twice as heavy as my Mase manifold (10)

I haven't held too many manifolds, but the Kings is really heavy. If its not schedule 40 then I am wondering what the heck 40 would feel like.

I might have to talk to the shop doing my custom exhaust to see if the can brace the manfold somewhere.

Nesar, maybe run a brace from the head (where the PTuning dist block is located) to the collector on the manifold? ie. use the same mounting points (two allen bolts) as the PTuning dist block.

yeah I was thinking that. I will talk to the shop doing the exhaust and see if they can do something to brace it. There is just about no room with this manifold.

I personally have a frount mount version not the V2 but have used it since 2009 with no issues. Also if your manifold cracks that you purchase from Kings they will fix it for you for free. Original owner only!

Yeah. You'll probably have to be creative with whatever you do. Maybe a clevis mount/eyelet/adjustable arm (similar to radius bars on a traction bar setup)?

Yeah taking it off is a real pain in the butt, especially since getting some of the nuts off need a special tools. I had to buy a crows foot to get mine off and on. Then its super heavy to ship and down time waiting to get it back. Rather take it local shop and pay them to fix it. I don't know. Thats disconcerning that two people now I have heard of cracked theres. Makes me wish more and more I went with the trackforge kit.
