I will ship my manifolds out tomorrow to vsr and they should have them in a few days. Bobby and his guys at vsr are going to examine the manifolds and hopefully come up with a much better option that will help us all. He did mention making a whole new manifold out if SS and offer them to others to buy useing my existing manifolds as a mold. That being said I would get the first set and fit them as trial and error before they are to be sold so no ones runs into fitment issues. Bobby said they would Warranty the parts but at this time I'm sure for how long. I honestly don't see this process lasting more than a month or so if things go well so be sure to check back periodically on the updates. Again it's a real shame gtm has resorted to tucking their tail between their legs and not addressing their major flaws leaving us the customers to fix them but I'm confident things will work out without the help of them...

Please PM how much they quoted you on new manifold.

Two vendors should thank GTM now

Boost performance for marketing
VSR for making money from manifold

On serious note: If VSR manifold went into production before GTM v3 upgrade then screw it, count me in the group buy if any without even taking my permission..

Finally some pics of the hole in my motor and a pics of the gtm manifolds...
Also notice the exhaust manifold gasket between the turbo and the manifold. Do you see they did not cut the opening big enough. Don't know about you guys but I want all of the exhaust flow I can spinning those turbos up..

I think my tungsten bit can make that hole bigger the way it should have been...

Rusty

Vent holes on outside of block not good.

That manifold port is leaving hp on the table. If you are going to match the port to the gasket. Line up your gasket, tape it into place. scribe your line around the gasket, and then remove gasket. Dip your burr bit into ATF fluid before you grind. It will help keep the burr bit from dulling to quick.

Hey thanks for the tips atf fluid I will try that and I couldn't agree more with leaving hp on the table since they failed to have matching ports on both sides.

did u check the gasket to the turbo?

I see a light at the end of the tunnel. In for VSR manifolds.

I'm in for manifolds!

phunk

Dont those manifolds give you guys grief with the steering shaft and make you have to drill and tap the cylinder heads, etc? I wouldnt buy those manifolds if they were for sale, and a stronger duplicate wouldn't appeal any greater. If VSR wants to cast manifolds, I would ask them to do you a favor and toss those in the trash and do something all new

Something new is where GTM came up with V3 manifold/upgrade. I really wanted to have that upgrade but seems like GTM are way to slow and if I wanna keep waiting I might as well die while waiting.

All I care about VSR manifold is strong enough for real track users and DD people... (unlike the ones that are made for dyno queen only and garage parked the rest of its life )

I don't care if the design is trash or not. we already drilled the cylinder heads.
After I saw the flange smaller than the gasket then that's the only thing I would like to point out to VSR to improve besides strengthen it up.
