Header for 3.6 turbo
Hello
I've been searching for the set of header with heat exchanger for my 3.6 turbo and I don't know which one is the right choice. I am in the dilema of choosing BB header or GHL.
My main concern is the quality in term of sealing and fitting properly.
Which one is louder, and any other band name out there that you guys would used or have used.
While upgrading the header, i also been thinking about upgrade the Turbo at the sametime just because i dont want to get dirty twice
I understand the existing stock K27 turbo is good enough. But, is there another better "Bolt-on" Turbo out there?
Thank you much.

summax,
Most of us use B&B or GHL and both are good. However some have encounted problems for the B&B saying it cracks after awhile. I've not had this problem before but others have. Another good but very expensive choice would be to custom make your headers and a good company would be Holcombe. Nope I dont have their website address.
On the turbo, go for the K27HF or the HF2 which you can buy off Stephen at Imagine Auto. You cant go wrong.

BB headers do crack, period. I had two sets on different cars, both had real problems. My GHL's have been just fine. I agree on the turbo pick by sameer. Do the intake at the same time, add a 1 BAR spring, and you will notice a very nice performance increase, and she will sound wonderful.

Thank you very much to you Sameer and Bogey1 for your very valuable inputs.
I have just purchased a complete set of GHL header and new Version of K27 HF "S" from Stephen Kaspar. He was very nice and provided very good service. I hope the installation turn out ok because those exhausts studs could be paint in the neck to take them out

Sure, turbohead
I will keep you guys posted. I have already installed 1 bar spring but still trying to find the best wastegate available out there. May be " Tial" would be the best choice?
Yasir, do you have any idea when the " Q" version comes out?
Fow now, I guess i have to stick with what i have already purchased
Thanks again for your advices

Headers - on their own what difference will they make to car. I would have thought that the Porsche Stock items were quite near perfection for our cars.
Have a 1bar spring and Bat bypass pipe already apart from that fairly standard.
