Default Custom turbo manifold?

About how much is it to custom fab a turbo manifold for a 4cyl motor? Any ideas? Are there any shops that do it in or around NJ?

This comment might seem "out of left field" but...

maybe you're in the wrong car forum?

Chances are someone already makes one for this vehicle and there's probably a knock off of it on Ebay as well.

That would be sick to see a big turbo hanging off of a jetski.

+1!!!

I totally misjudged this thread!

But don't you have to take serious precautions against hydrolock?

Anyway, I really can't answer your question but good luck

Well actually I'm in the planning stages right now. Me and a friend of mine are gonna do it. They supercharge em so why not turbo? lol. As far as hydrolock goes, I would imagine the enginebay to be water tight because the intake is just an open intake and people flip their jetskis all the time and have no problems after.

There are turbo'ed PWC... Honda makes them, the Aquatrax F-12X and R-12X, so it is completely doable. And yeah, Sea-Doo has been SCing 'skis for a couple years now

1235cc liquid-cooled dry-sump inline four-cylinder with intercooled turbocharger

Yeah rome thats the idea. Those S/C jetski's shoot upwards on full throttle and I believe theyre only puttin out 110. We're goin for something way more intense.
