This is the upgraded version of our OM606 VNT manifold. Previously, we designed it to work with the small V-band M57 turbochargers. Over time, it became clear that these turbos were too small, often resulting in excessive backpressure and high EGTs (exhaust gas temperatures). Transitioning to the larger V-band from the newer-generation engines was inevitable. This allows you to use a factory turbo capable of 300 hp, which can be found in many upgraded forms (e.g., Turbosystems) and can easily push 500 hp from your setup. The manifold itself is very light (6.8 kg), compact, and simple—no wastegate flange needed. It’s shaped so that everything sits above the cylinder deck and should clear most engine bay beams. In most cases, the turbo must be clocked, as its stock position in most BMWs is not compatible with high-mount setups. Keep in mind the turbo flange is positioned in front of 3rd cyl. Running an EDC pump or another type of geometry control is recommended. We now offer ceramic coating as an option for all our manifolds. We use the highest-grade Cerakote products which sustain up to 1000C and are rust protective. Please note that coated manifolds are not kept in stock, and an additional one-week lead time is required to properly complete the coating process. The last photo is a sample photo of the Bronze color coating. NOTE: Turbo will perform much better using Baldur`s DSL1 ECU.

OEM Garret number is : 777853 We`ve also seen it marked as : GTB2260VK Please note that warranty claims for cracked manifolds will not be honoured with the lack of a flexible coupling on your downpipe.
