hey guys ust wondering if anyone is using proboost turbo manifolds and what their quality is like. as im looking into highmount manifolds for my rb25 setup but cannot afford a 6boost as of yet.
is their quality of the manifold like the china ones or are they a bit better than those
U do realize the deck height on a 25 bottem end is 50mm shorter then the 30, Davo with the silver 25 has a 6boost mani and has to jack up the motor an *** around with the passenger side eng mount every time he puts it on or takes it off, were jack has a 25/30 and with the extra deck height has no issues with the same manifold!
Something to look into.

so what are you saying mo that a custom mani would have to be made or that everytime i take the mani off i need to undo the engine mount?
trying to change a head gasket makes it a nightmare not being able to just unblot the manifold and pull it of, it's not that u do it all the time, but when u do it's nice to know u don't have to jack the engine up to get it out!

that does not bother me to much as i prob wouldnt be doing it to often
is your 6 boost mani a custom one for the vl engine bay or is it just a basic straight off shelf item made by kyle
Whether it's extra effort or not is not the point, did u also know that a 25 jd plenum doesn't fit with a 25/30 because of the extra height! It's worth asking b4 lashing out and buying something that in the end isn't a "direct bolt on" to suit ur own application and spendin money twice trying to modify ****!
ok thanks for the heads up mo i have decided to stay low mount for now anyway but when it comes down to going bigger and needing highmount i will contact kyle for a manifold.
and mine is just a rb25 so with a inlet from jd i shall be fine there
I brought a chinese XTR stainless manifold for 25/30 & the manifold may as well of been hitting the strut tower..
6boost baby almost cut my finger on the collector they are the business.

Also with the plenums.. I did a cut and shut stock plenum & it was hitting the bonnet.
