Ok, I am starting to gather parts for my turbo project and i am looking for the manifold. I know JGS makes one, but the price seems a little steep (360 + Shipping).. I was just wondering if anyone else knows any other options or knows anyone that does it for cheaper or any information on this subject. Thank you

Your options are:
1. Buy one from Lance (JGS)
2. Make your own
I would not suggest #2 unless you're really expereienced in welding and have some concept of manifold design.

beggars cant be choosers >
> jgs makes a great manifold but you could always buy an exhaust manifold gasket and take it somewhere to have one fabricated. depending on the place you take it, this could be way more expensive or in a few cases a little bit cheaper. just gotta check it out. i went with a custom job because i like the trick looking manifolds more than the plain ones from jgs. either way, as my good buddy Larry the Cable Guy says, " Get er' done! ".

Well, done one, dont want to do any more, rather pay some money then have 3 days full of work, and in the end still dont know if it was goo or bad..... Go with JGS tools manifold, and forget about all that hasle, cuz you will have enouth of it, then you start colecting parts and info for your 7a-fe

Check out my car, its a 7AFTE. I would sell you my turbo kit off of it with the maifold for 800.00. I'm not interested in it anymore and want to trash my engine and swap. i push 5-7 psi on it, the engine is just ****ed up right now and my trans slippin.

i would agree totally with you about the rice comment if all were blind. but who doesnt want something to look nice and different rather than settle for something because thats "all they offer". lol, never been accused of sounding "rice" before >

Its cool if it looks good, but did you give any thought to how it performed? I just don't see the the point in spending a ton of money and effort on a turbo setup only to have it run like crap because the manifold was designed to 'look cool' instead of perform well. I guess its just my opinion. Its hard to ever get an engineer to consider form over function.......

you might call these companies that sell turbo kits and see if they will sellyou just the manifold. (if it'll fit a T-3 that is)
my "kit" is for sale, the jgs manifold works. no cranks, no bull****. its worth the money for the non-do it yourselfers/ non welders
this is scary. so many people selling there turbo kits.
