Turbo manifold for RHD 1st gen

I was browsing the 2nd gen for sale items and found this. I sent a guy some money via paypal in Aus over 75 days ago and still never recieved the t04 manifold. I need to find one in the USA. Will this manifold work for me? I'm thinking of bolting a GT3540R to it.. I'm a little concerned about the wastegate. Can i swap it out with a Tial? Can this manifold made 350-400 RWHP? Thanks..

Since you are going with a larger turbo why don't you just get one custom made. This will fix your fitment problems. Cost will be a little higher but you could get a manifold tailored to your application. If you decide to go this way make sure that the primaries are of equal length and the turbo is pushed forward towards the front of the car. By pushing the turbo forward lag is decreased.

The problem is that no shops here in Las Vegas can make me one.. I would need to bring the car to a place to custom make one.. LA has a few shops that can do one but 300 miles to get one made is kinda of a long trip..

Cool. I will be taking the RX-2 and RX-3 to him also for turbo manifold and full exhaust/muffler. But that will be in a couple of months. Too cold to work in the garage at night.
