Default Question about SPA Turbo manifold

Hey All

Friend and I were browsing the web and came across SPA Turbo. It seems that they have a cast iron mani for the TC 2.4. It looks great but wanted to see if anyone has any personal experience with it? Haven't tried giving them a call for details, but wanted to see if anyone had any feedback here. Thanks in advance.

They make excellent top mount cast manifolds for the Honda guys.. however this particular one for the Scion doesn't look too appealing to me.

Don't get me wrong - I'm sure it's a good cast manifold for the cheap and it'll get you boosted. But I don't like the way the "runners" are on the manifold - and that's a personal preference.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Not familiar w/ their top mount cast manifolds for Honda since this is the first piece I looked at from SPA Turbo. I have seen many "log" style TC manifolds and the runners looks pretty much the same, you must be a ramhorn/tubular kind of guy hehe. I'll be calling SPA Turbo soon to get some tech specs on those runners. It seems like they will still flow well, and for the price and warranty... it's very appealing.

Anyone else have any feedback/history about the product? Thanks in advance.

Dosen't look too bad. Don't like how the wastegate is biased to the last runner.

Ok. Do what you want then. Spend all the money you want. Pay 300 dollars for a cast iron lol. Not my money your blowing. Let me know how it turns out whatever route you take.
