What is the best turbo intake manifold for my turbo conversion. and why do you recommend it for my application.

I'm starting with a fresh /balanced n/a 1.6 diesel. My end goal is low/mid rpm power band. I'm after the fun factor/street able and focus on drive ability. No crazy high rpm application. using a fresh exhaust side ported and ceramic coated k14. Probably 12-14 p.s.i. max.

input appriciated

Picked up a good k14. Sent it straight to JPop in Arkansas for rebuild with upgraded bearings, exhaust port and polish and ceramic exhaust side coat.

Just building up miscellaneous support parts now. Got the exhaust manifold, dual oil tap filter housing, oil pressure line, and aftermarket BAE intake. I may use a pd150 intake instead?

That's awesome! Any idea what they'd charge for a basic rebuild? I've been thinking of sending my K14 from my Vanagon out this winter. I may do it myself, but have SO many other projects

Have you measured the outlet of that stock downpipe? It’s pretty restrictive. I made my own downpipe with 2.25” mandrel bends.
