I plan on using a GT45 dual ball bearing turbo.
Has anyone used this generic manifold setup, any info on its build quality would be great!!

Thank you sir! if you don't mind me asking what kind of turbo and wastegate did you end up going with? I plan on doing my headgasket as well!! I would like to hit at least the 450 mark

I have the same setup. The only thing I would do is check that the dump pipe will fit your waste gauge.

i got that same turbo manifold and it's holding fine for almost a year of abusing now. but had to cut about 1/2" of the wastegate runner and clock the wastegate flange so it'll fit a ebay 50mm wastegate w/o hitting anything.

When you say GT45? Do you mean a legit GT45 from Garrett?

I've seen quite a few ebay manifolds but they are mainly for the smaller framed T4 turbos. When you say GT45, I picture an 80mm turbo, just about the limits of a T4 from Garrett until you move up to a T6 frame. From what I've seen, the mounting flange is not placed far enough from the head causing a clearance issue with large turbos. Number 1 runner becomes a problem not allowing the compressor housing to clock down far enough for the charge pipe.

A friend of mine is using a generic ebay manifold with a Borg Warner S375 and had the exact same issue. Number 1 runner is currently being re-fabricated to clearance the turbo.

First thing that comes to mind, I would recommend staying away from ebay turbos. I'm sure people have make power with it but for how long?

Seems similar to a Garrett GT40 variance that costs about 4 - 5 times as much. Kinda makes you think what they left out to bring the cost down so much. I would honestly say you can spend the $350 somewhere else and don't skimp on the important components.

Anyways, I don't see any issue fitting this turbo on this manifold.

My purpose in doing this build is simple...i would like to make a DIY for my NA-T guys thats very reasonable. I'm tired of seeing companines like boost logic try to sell me a kit for 6k when i can piece together a knockoff that will work work just as well 1k. I do realize some of their manifolds can hold say 35psi of boost and not crack but for most of us 10-15 is all we want. Reasonable wheel hp. I would like to help the community and create powerful reasonable car that helps all of us. And i would like to volunteer myself as a test subject! wish me luck gents.
