Love the idea of swapping out your supercharger for the Garrett GTX2867 Turbo? You are in luck as our Manifold is designed for just that. The MINI R53 makes an awesome track-day car, but is lacking in the boost department. Strap that little turbo onto your engine to increase the excitement!

There's no shortage of MINI R53 Turbo Manifolds available. What sets the Walton Motorsport version apart from the competition is our construction methods.

MINI R53 Turbo Manifold Construction

Material Selection

First and foremost not all 304 Stainless steel is created equal. We carefully select the exact specifications of the tube that we use. The use of a poor-quality tube can compromise the whole design. For Instance, Turbo Manifolds experience repeated high-temperature cycles. In these situations, we have seen poor tubing split along the seam.
We design the head flanges in-house. However, we outsource the precision Fiber Laser Cutting. The use of more modern Fiber Laser cutting allows for increased accuracy over traditional laser cutting

Processes

Where the manifold meets the exhaust ports, Walton Motorsport's process is to push the tubing through the head flange and TIG weld each side. This process is followed by a selection of finishing tools. We do this to create a smooth port for the gasses to freely flow through. Consequently, this process dramatically increases the durability of the manifold, rather than using the traditional method of welding the tube to the face of the flange. Moreover, our approach also solves the problem of an oval port needing to transition smoothly to a round tube. The stubs process, in short, helps increase power through the improved flow.
The centerpiece of the manifold is our in-house designed cast collector. Our latest collector design features the highest wastegate flow we have ever achieved on a merge collector, all without compromising on power-reducing turbulence and high EGTs. This is achieved by sourcing exhaust gasses from a wider opening with the smoothest possible transitions. The casting process allows for a seamless design, preventing any break up of the collector and eliminating potentially harmful turbo and engine failures.

Lifetime Warranty

Bombproof? We haven't found out yet. Our Turbo Manifolds have been designed put up with some serious abuse though. We offer a lifetime warranty on our products as many do. However, we put a huge emphasis on the strength and durability of our products to stop them from failing. The biggest inconvenience when it comes to a failed manifold (providing none of it ends up inside your turbo or engine) is removing it for repair. By eliminating the failure in the first place, we can honestly say it would be extremely unlikely to experience a failure of our products. Consequently, We wouldn't sleep well at night if our product failed and cost you a result
