Every ramhorn manifold build thread I see has huge issues with heat, like more so than the other types. They end up melting f@#king every thing if they don't shield that whole side heavily. It's an awesome looking manifold but appears to be too much of a pain

 

If anything, the manifolds (like Ptuning and SOS) that hang the turbo low in the engine bay should have the LEAST amount of troubles with heat.


I've shielded the entire passenger side and still feel like it could be better.

 

I wanted to try to get my kit on without relocating anything but now my fuse box is in the fender, power steering harness is through the fender as well, and the battery will be in the trunk soon. Eventually I would like my heater lines, brake lines, etc. all relocated.

 

I'd like to not relocate anything

 

Then you are severely limiting your choices.

SOS kit is as close as you're going to get.

 

You don't have to relocate with the Ptuning. Just add their motor mount.

 

moving the battery and turning the fusebox with some minor heat shelding should do on moat set ups, but ac lines i cant help on that one

 

You have the greddy kit, p-tuning, sos ts max, and track forged kits to look at if you don't want to relocate anything. Still doesn't mean you won't run into any minor issues with heat. However all those turbo kits I just listed are the ones made with simplicity in mind.

 

Trackforged manifold doesn't require relocation either. I have the Ptuning kit and although you dont have to technically "relocate" anything you do have to remove stock fans, stock oil cooler, and motor mount. Nothing that can't be undone.
