    V6 turbo junkies

    Did/is anyone have/having any luck with finding turbo manifold(s) or are you guys having them made? Just curious because if it or they are out there, I'd do it, if not I'm going to have them made. I want to route the pipint over the tranny like the new Grand Prix exhaust is. They meet by a mid-piece and "Y" down into the exhaust. But basically I want to run the rear manifold and meet the front(3 piece setup) and mount to the turbo to sit next to the front head. Downpipe can then be run down the front side of the tranny/block. i fyou all have any pics of your current build that would be great. This coming fall/winter will be project time. This year I will buy the parts as i can afford them and hopefully have them all by then. I am doing a block build up and heads rebuilt.

    Something similar to this:

    There are no off the shelf turbo manifolds for the v6. If you have them made tho, I'm sure there would be a couple of us interested in them.

    I'm sure you checked Club3g, they were having a discussion concerning this particular configuration. You're not going to find much interest here on TGC.

    go to mitsubishi
    scroll down to t
    you will see turbo manifolds & turbo kits (under a seperate link)
    there are a few brands choose turbo "specialties"

    make sure you look and order the 6g72 as there are a few v6 options for the overseas galants

    there is also a full kit available from the same company


    i know a few of the 3g's have bought from here pretty recently and recieved it fine and are using it but i myself have not orfered anything from them so i cant give first hand experience on thier reputability (i would contact and ask them if its still available personally)

    Mine is piped pretty close to the way the Peugeot has been done - the rear bank connects to the front bank then to the turbo. I've got lots of pics from my install:
    https://thegalantcenter.net/forum/sh...ad.php?t=16472

    Hot Side (Exhaust) Piping:


    Note that I still use my stock exhaust manifolds, losing the piping that has the precats.
    E2 = Front bank collector with square turbo flange
    E4 = Rear bank collector - hooks into E2 at the part with the wastegate flange
    E3 = downpipe from turbo outlet to E1
    E1 = Section that replaces the stock rear cat (notice the pair of O2 bungs)

    never said it was great but it is "easy" lol as far as the actual kit i wouldnt use it... but the manifold is an option although it seems to only run off 1 bank

    It runs of both banks, but it's a very poor design. A guy over at GF tried it, and IRC he gave up.

    That comes with a T-28!? Way too small for a 3.0L V6.

    Ummm... what are you talking about exactly? They have some turbo kits in development, but I know of absolutely no plans for test fitting them on any state-side 6G72's. Tearstone is their official US distributor now (in essence) and you're best off going through them to get RPW parts.

    I do recall there was one old school member here (who got banned - forgot his name ) who was actually in talks with RPW to be a test fitter for the RPW twin turbo kit, but that never saw the light of day and if I recall correctly, went with the RIPP kit instead.

    If you have $7K+ for the twin turbo kit then by all means go for it!

    Is that in AUD? And I thought it was a single turbo kit they were developing.
