The absolute cheapest Intake Manifold I could find online, want some thoughts on it if anyone has tried or even seen it before.

These pictures are inaccurate.

I might be mistaken, but I believe the EOS manifold

Correct. Pictures are to compare intake plenums of both EOS and OP's photos.

It would make some fun YouTube content - "Cheapest Supra Mod with Temu Parts!" - dyno it and race it until it explodes from some failure and then see what happened.

Don't me wrong, China is next level and you can get some amazing, high quality products there. Where else is Pure, DAWS, VTT, and the rest getting their castings from ..............But this?

Do we really need to verify where this is being built or if they carry an ISO cert?

I wouldn't bother arguing with that idiot. @Turbro joins a car forum centered on performance mod discussions, then gives a TEDtalk about how stupid it is to spend a lot of money on the most critical upgrade for the car, as if it's some profound insight into this hobby.

He's ready to drop 600 bucks on this "badass solution" diff mount
(1) BTKUSA Diff mount with bushing | SupraMKV - 2020+ Toyota Supra Forum (A90 MKV Generation)
Since he can't use the search function, someone needs to slap the stupid out of him by showing a cheaper option from the only two sponsors left on this trash site that deserve the support @Twisted Tuning @rwense

I 1000% understand why @razorlab is the way he is now
lol.

appreciate the mention here.

Forget about diminishing returns. That's always the case with IAT's and timing corrections. You want to push 700 on stock components. Focus on reducing cylinder temps so you don't blow a ringland.

Just grab a Wagner if you really can't afford to pay from something this significantly important for the car. Its the same dime a dozen dual pass manifolds out there.

Or buy the EOS. Every single dickhead out there in the market has tried to copy mike's single pass design.
RK, CSF, even that bible thumping Remnant dude.

Mine sheds 260 degrees F on my logs at wide open throttle. from 360 degrees charge temps.

I like the way Cloud Yeller gives you proper advice on testing the manifold......................... meanwhile the real advice should've been, "Don't buy that manifold m8."

No no, makes sense. I have seen a used EOS manifold for $3200 but I am vary just because it already was used in 1000+ hp car. But I get the argument and it makes sense.

Personally id steer clear. I mean for science id love to see data, but even if it does have any performance gain id imagine it probably fits like garbage, has quality issues, and wont last as long.

Yep, the more I hear it seems people have tested them and they run but expecting much lower IATs is a really big ask.

The inability of some members to perform ANY bit of research on their own is so god damn annoying. Some of y'all were never flamed on the old-school car forums and it shows.

OP, if you're responding with "oh wow interesting" to the concept of pressure testing an intake manifold then honestly, it doesn't matter if this was a $800 intake manifold or an $8,000 manifold. God speed.

Well yes, I get what you mean. I know the EOS is the best one out there, but as I argued earlier at what point is it diminishing returns. I understand the larger core and its unique design. I am not as experienced in this area so that’s why I came to ask for advice. I am aware that a lot of stuff gets resold so rather buy direct. But I wanted input if anyone knew anything more. I am just going to return it since I can.

I will not lie, I am very impressed by this level of knowledge. This is what I looked for by posting here, I don’t really care if people think I can or can’t afford it. I want my thought to be torn apart and I can make a better decision.
I think with this is kind, I will return it!

I will not lie, I am very impressed by the level of knowledge here and that’s why I wanted input. This was the input I was requesting, rather than whatever arguement was happening.

with that in mind, I shall return it!
