Title: RX6a/RX6b turbo manifold flange difference?
Post by: yehreally on September 22, 2006, 09:27:33 PM
Can anyone tell me wether the turbo manifold flange on the two Apexi turbo kits are the same and maybe the differences (other than turbo) between the two kits ?

If you have the RX6a kit can you put the RX6b turbo on it as an upgrade? :rolleyes:

I may be wrong but don\'t the two kits put the Turbo\'s in difrent places? (i.e. The bigger of the two is put where the Air pump should go and the Smaller goes behind the air pump for those poor people that need to keep there Smog gear)

So if this is the case i\'d say the Manifolds will be difrent.

Looking about it would seem the "A" kit is the one that goes where the air pump used to be.

I would suspect the GT would be easyer to get hold of and there is more knolage on set ups etc, the Apexi is a kit so changing Housings and stuff like that would be more of a pain.

Still there is alot to be said for buying a Kit as you\'ll get the correct Restrictors etc for the Turbo in question and it will come with all the pipe work and heat shealds.

But saying that they are both in the same sort of leauge so at the end of the Day it depends on Price?
