Author Topic: M50 turbo manifold on M42 fitment (Read 11095 times)

Can anyone confirm that this manifold will fit. I plan to cut the last 2 runners closest to the turbo flange off and place the turbo just in front of the motor. I was going to just buy it but i figure i would make sure. i know there is not much m42 turbo knowledge out there but any help is appreciated.

i emailed the sellers for dimensions and didn't get a response.

i very much appreciate your help. i plan to run a top mount but that really helps as far as fitment between the head and the strut tower.

do you have the same setup i described plus the adaptor. why do you need an adaptor. i was going to use one anyways because its a T25 flange turbo.

if you can please send pictures to me at o_alcha3@hotmail.com that would be very appreciated.

It's an adapter made by me because the turbo needs to stay higher then the manifold's flange
