Show original supplier description
The CXRacing T3 Top Mount Turbo Manifold is engineered for the 1998-2006 BMW 3 Series E46 chassis, specifically for M52 and M54 engines, to facilitate a Natural Aspiration to Turbocharged (NA-T) conversion. This manifold is a completely new design developed by CXRacing, offering a bolt-on fit with no cutting required. It is constructed from durable 304 stainless steel for longevity and performance. The manifold features a top-mount configuration and is designed to support T3 turbos, including the GT35 model, and can handle power outputs up to 500 HP. It also includes provisions for a 38mm external wastegate. This product is sold as the manifold only; complete turbo kits are available separately. This product is intended for off-road or track use only and is not for street use due to the complexity of NA to turbo conversions. CXRacing emphasizes that buyers should ensure this is the correct part for their project. It is important to note that this manifold does not fit M3 models. The product was developed based on US Left-Hand-Drive chassis; fitment on Right-Hand-Drive vehicles may present issues with the steering shaft, and returns for RHD fitment problems will not be accepted. Installation instructions are not provided, but the manufacturer offers extensive installation pictures and notes.
