[DaNnY_LaD]

Im nearly there with my hybrid Gt2x hybrid build But every single person ive spoke to is sayin its a matter off time before my atp cracks...

Well ive just checked it and theres a small crack in it so that only happend on my k03s stage 2....

I'm sure RobDon is using a tig art and went direct to them and got it cheaper.

What about the ones IND are doing mate?

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Mate like i said when you told me about this the Tig Art and and the JBS one your looking at are virtually the same manifold

EDIT: JBS aren't doing the tubular one now either there concentrating on the cast one so a tubular one from JBS is a order only i think

 

[m0rk]

THey used to be, but I think they fell out

 

[ChrisCurzon]

When i spoke to JBS a few weeks back about the cast one they told me they were flying out to go to look at them to see if they were ready so theyre not making them in the UK and i know that Tig Art are based in Israel or somewhere like that. Don't know if there working together on them or not, but with the tubular stainless ones they are pretty similar!

Tig art and JBS tubular manis are different now. Apparently JBS make their in house now. Tig Art never used to sell direct to the UK because JBS sold them and they will now. Just because JBS are flying out to check the new cast manifolds doesnt mean Tig Art are making them. Infact you probably wouldnt get something like that made in the UK as it would be alot more expensive.

Yeah but i cant be doing with the fitment issues u had Chris and the turbo blowing all the time

Also how the hell did u do that in ur sig i cant do it....Doing my nut in

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

So what you sayin pj for the price id pay id be looking at getting one over sea due to the exchange rate/

 

[pj1985]

Was just saying that JBS tubular are not supplied by Tig Art anymore and that JBS new cast manis will most likely be made abroad as it will cost them less. Sourcing from abroad for you might cause issues with lhd fitment etc.

This is a pic of Robdon's Tig Art manifold which is cheaper than the JBS one

This is a picture of my JBS one

There isn't much difference in them

 

[ChrisCurzon]

If you really want one of these then you may as well go Tig Art, but you know yourself Danny that nut at the back is VERY hard to get to

Both from after Tig Art started selling direct to UK customers? Either way it wouldn't surprise me if JBS new tubular mani was made in house from the original Tig Art design.

 

[SEATCOOBER]

how long ago did you buy your atp one???

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

4-5months ago without much abuse

 

[SEATCOOBER]

i heard they have got alot better than what they were ive had mine on since the summer and no issues but i have not had it off since i put it on with my gt28rs, where has yours cracked and if mine has cracked would i know about it???? blowing ect!!!!

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Mine cracked near the turbo flange and its only a small one mine but its only been on my k03s and i hardly used it...

Am defo lookin in to a turbular one now tho...Got a price from tig-art 400quid + 20p&P

IIRC i got the last one from JBS and Robdon was looking for one and i think he got directed to the Tig Art one, possibly by JBS. He ended it buying it from Tig Art directly i think.
This is what i think, cause the JBS and Tig Art mannis look so similar, i would think that they both work on the same design like you say, which their carrying through to the cast ones possibly
