Look at doing a turbo conversion to my VL wagon but was just wondering what manilfold to use???
Do all the turbo RB series use the same exhaust manifold?
What im trying to say is do the "DE" manifold fit on to an "E"?

Well the D means it's a twin cammer... so no it wont fit a single cam head.

If anyone knows where to get a turbo manifold and pricing that would be a huge help

Your in Hams there's Mike at SINCO does awesome work but your looking at around $1000 -$1200 or you could keep an eye on the forsale threads on here and get a 2nd hand one from Aussie

standard ones pop up from time to time, they still good for running big numbers, lot of drag boys still run em with great success.Dannys car above runs standard manifold and goes hard!!
when they do pop up on trade me they go quick and for around $140-$200 mark
otherwise theres few after market ones around, or get one made, or like danny said if your handy with welder go nuts.
