Figaro turbo manifold

[karlj]

Am I right in saying that the figaro turbo mani is a direct fit?

If so does anyone know where I should start looking for one?

 

[imp124]

i believe is is a straight fit, manifold stud pattern wise. Ebay or a figaro parts specialist can get them but they can be expensive, what you planning on doing?

 

[karlj]

Thinking of doing a MA10t =)

I have an st manifold mate its the same as the fig.Pm me if you want it

Baz

 

[karlj]

I'll keep that in mind baz, got a few things to do to the car before a turbo but hopefully within the next 6 months

 

[imp124]

Baz, i thought the ST manifold was also better flowing and had a larger throttle body than the fig? (i may be wrong) if so this manifold would be ideal

 

[mckenziecz]

and had a larger throttle body than the fig?

since when has turbo manifold throttle body?

Any info regarding a turbo conversion is appreciated guys the reason I asked about the figaro was I read it was a direct swap just can't remember where I saw it

And the superturbo manifold is the same as the figaro one as I said mate :suspect: I'm looking for £20 pounds for it

He thought he meant the inlet manifold

 

[karlj]

If postage isn't expensive I'll have it off you baz

 

[imp124]

yep, sorry i thought you meant inlet, my mistake

 

[karlj]

Lol doesn't matter I knew what you ment (might need to do inlet aswell anyway)

 

[bobsp16]

i have had both these inlets st and Figaro and they are different to each other,the red st one is the better one but still very small and restricted through the inlet tracks,,
st inlet

figaro inlet

Whilst this thread has intrest would a standard ma10 handle the turbo?

yes probably with a thicker decompression gasket.you may as well use the ma12

 

[Baz]

So do you want the turbo manifold?

 

[aLLeKs]

if i would put the manifold onto my 1liter, do i have to replace the "ecu" or something. or is it a straight swap, just the injection

 

[karlj]

Yeah I'll have the mani off you baz I'll have to pay next Thursday though

As for ma12 nah I want to keep it 1ltr

 

[karlj]

Should of mentioned I'll be keeping it carbed if possible

Thats cool man just pm me before hand(Y)

 

[karlj]

Will do, still going to keep an eye out for a figaro one though just in case

But they are the exact same manifold mate

 

[karlj]

Ahh ok thought they would be different

 

[bobsp16]

But they are the exact same manifold mate

baz they are different there is alot more parts attached to the figaro one and the throttle body is in a different position...the st one is larger inside and would be the better choice..
