Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) D-TECH, D-TECH TURBO or 3-Piece Exhaust Manifold

[Hammer]

I understand your disappointment due to the lack of replies,but,when you read the post heading and your initial post I would say its a deal where not many of us run their manifold or that small of a charger. If you would have asked directly for input on II or HTT's turbos or one of the other exhaust manifolds you would have received enough info to wear out your eyes.



Myself,I can not give you any info on the turbos your asking about. I have seen many on the dyno at my clubs shows and unless I'd happen to get a ride in one I could never relate how they drive. I run a Garrett GT37R Stage 3 with a modified and ported exhaust housing and its low end spool up is very quick with the tune on my truck. Its not a cheap charger and alot of people stay away due to its cost,however,it has performed flawlessly for me and I have gotten my moneys worth out of it.



As for exhaust manifolds I run an ATS manifold. It has done a fine job and the only one single complaint I have is the cheap,no thats not a good description,JUNK,temperature coating they use. Not even 3 months after it was installed it was rusting and looks even worse now. If I had to do it over again I would have bought one from HTT direct and had it HPC coated by them. ATS should be ashamed allowing a product which they advertise as "coated" to be so cheaply done and sent out of their shop. I even emailed them and even posted here about their shoddy coating and it went unanswered. They will get no more of my money due to no response to me.



Anyway,I am off my soap box,as for products working well the B-D,ATS and HTT all perform about the same it just depends what your into. Sorry I do not know anything about the D-Tech stuff... ... Andy

Thanks for posts.

BTilson317 - I am leaning toward the 60/14.

Hammer - They are selling a lot of the small chargers to someone. I guess they just do not post. Maybe no one has purchased the manifolds, other than TLe.

I would have thought D-Tech would have had a few customers. I am leaning toward one of their manifolds. I cannot say I have ever been an ATS fan. I hear too many complaints on them.

I am running a small D-tech turbo, I also sell them. The manifolds fit well and come with gaskets. They have 2 drilled/tapped ports in the manifold. Spool up is similar to the SuperB or HTBG. It has a 12cm housing that has a tighter scroll so it spools fast. It think it pushes a little more air than the SuperB or HTBG. I have been running it for 10k miles and tow a lot. I have it wastegated at 38lbs.

Great turbo for 350-425HP range, which is where I am most of the time as I don't like the aggressiveness of the adranaline on higher settings unless I want it shame someone else
