If we happen to make a turbo manifold for this car, it will probably be a "collector" style anyways ... with the little bit of exhaust gas flowing out of a 1 liter 3 cylinder, why would you want all the exhaust to be fighting eachother coming out of the exhaust ports ..... you need as much Ummph as possible to spool a turbo .....

The collector style would keep the exhaust gasses separate up until all three pipes meet at the "collector" at which point it would spool the turbine.

Less Turbulance, more usable exhaust flow for spooling ....

We'll see .... hopefully have the Brabus parts shortly ....

who knows, maybe the factory brabus parts are "good enough" for the task, I guess, until wee have them in our hands ... we won't know ... I've just been having a heck of a time getting them ....

It seems the UK doesn't want to send stuff to the US ... it's to much of a pain in the a$$ ....
