you bid on the tube manifold??? or that logger ATP knockoff? The tube mani if a nice piece. You will need a down pipe made for it though, I think, I doubt that the turbo placement will line up with a standard ATP type down pipe. Although the ATP has 2 vbands (make sure the turbo you get is Vbanded on the turbine side) so it will adjust around quite a bit. ---

Manifold is well built it looks, and the WG is worth $150 used or so. If he sold it seperate it might only make $50-100 on the deal… not really worth the time IMO… He is on the right track. Hes a young dude and doesnt have $2300 to blast into a parts kit. He is buying a bunch of my old stuff I wont be reusing on my build, AN lines, fittings, ECU… there isnt much to a turbo kit for these cars. The pag kit is great, and price and does have good parts. But when it boils down to it, money talks. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1-8t-manifold-help/255272.md?page=2)
