Title: "Turbo" End Castings?
Post by: Zach Gomulka on March 08, 2010, 17:34:14 pm
I got a pair of these from Slinger, and last weekend my dad cleaned them up for me. Thinking about throwing them on the GTV (along with the larger 28mm venturis again) to see what happens. Are they any good? The flange where the manifold meets the head isn't any larger than stock, so for really big ports you would still need to weld them up. But the plenum area is much larger. So what's the good word on these?

No word on those, but I'm considering using 1600i inlets for my draw-through install. Any more thoughts anyone?

Are these the deano intakes?  They could be station one turbo intakes?  Either way I would use them.

I think they may have been sold by Deano and/or Race-Trim but I'm not sure. Anyone know the story on these?

These are how the old turbo intakes looked as far as I know.

Zach, here's what I did for my stock end casting on my turbo project.  I used 2" od aluminum tubing, and ported the living hell out of the inside of them.....both ends.   ;)
