Need help choosing turbo manifold

[heykosal]

Okay so i thought i had settled on the SLS mini log manifold. but priced at $395 with an additional $350 tacked on for the 3" downpipe, it totals $745 which blows my budget out of the water. Now i dont have a budget for the build per say, i mean i have $1k to spend right now and i want to at least buy the manifold/downpipe, intercooler, and piping. I plan on purchasing an intercooler and piping from RCautoworks for $400. I plan on purchasing the other pieces seperately next.
The alternative is SpoolinPerformance's log and downpipe combo priced at $600 which would put me right at the $1k.

My question is, im shooting for 300whp on stock internals. Should i settle for the plain and simple Spoolin combo or spend the extra $145 for the sex SLS combo?

Unless someone wants to help me out with getting the H-T discount with SLS! idk how much the HT discount is, but if it brings the combo price closer to $600 rather than $745 im gonna pop for the SLS

thats cool but you dont have to get a nice intercooler
ebay ones work just fine
its all just piping

 

[heykosal]

Ill definitely check eBay for intercoolers, but what about the manifold?

www.spoolinperformance.com

they have intercoolers also, and IC piping.


Pretty nice looking website too.

 

[heykosal]

yeah spoolin's intercooler in the size im looking for is $45 more than RC autoworks.

 

[Ominous G2]

At least they have everything else, they make a very solid manifold.

Also....

"We back our products 100% and will fix it if anything is to happen."

So does SLS, i need to know which to choose.

The wastegate mount on that looks like it would be close to the a/c lines.

Do you plan on keeping PS and A/C

 

[heykosal]

yessss i do wish to keep the amenitiessss..thats what im afraid of though, it doesnt say anything about a/c or p/s on the website. i havent called and asked yet. Heres the pic for reference.

 

[Ominous G2]

I honestly dont think that will fit, thats hitting the A/C lines if not the fan shroud.

It is a nice looking manifold.

 

[heykosal]

thats crap! might have to settle for the Spoolin manifold/DP. What you think of the RCautoworks?

website also mentions nothing of a/c p/s

 

[heykosal]

Or ill prob just pick up a spoolin manifold/dp its $500 for both compared to $650 for the RC combo.
The spoolin will support at least 300whp right?

 

[Ominous G2]

I know somebody that has one and put that down, I have one and thats my goal.
