The whoosh motorsports Trac-Spec manifold starts life as a stock 1.6L Ford cast manifold. The first process is a Level 1 Extrude Hone which is basically abrasive putty that is pressed through the part under extremely high pressure to remove casting imperfections, increase internal size, and of course increase airflow.
The manifold then goes through a Level 2 process which is a hand blending of the 4 individual ports so the head to turbo manifold gasket is matched perfectly.
The last process for our manifold is a 2000 degree Cerakote ceramic coating in Satin black.
Our manifolds will yield a estimated minimum of 10-15 whp and 5-10 wtq over the stock manifold (based off results of a competing manifold with far less modifications)
Our maximum effort manifold will easily help extract every ounce of power from your whoosh hybrid turbo as well as any other hybrid or big turbo that utilizes the OEM Fiesta turbo flange.
Why add this much cost and effort into a stock type cast manifold? That's easy!
Many aftermarket manifolds available utilize longer runners with claims of spool and power improvement when in fact the result can be the opposite. Our decision to put effort into maximizing the stock design came after many failed attempts of designs and tests from a very reputable source in the UK determined the stock manifold configuration works best for any turbo that utilizes the small OEM Fiesta 3 bolt flange.
Dyno testing results will be available within a few weeks with the whoosh Trac-Spec manifold combined with the Trac-Spec hybrid turbo - stay tuned!

Looks great, Ron!

- Are the HP and torque projections based on the stock turbo?
- What's the install effort (in terms of hours)?
power estimate is based on the VUDU manifold which worked well for us coupled with our hybrid and other turbos yet has 1/4 of the effort these have internally and externally so it's an understated number
I don't think any testing or numbers are geared toward stock turbos, sorry about that!

these manifolds would be best installed while replacing a turbo, install is quite lengthy at least for me because I take my time when working behind the engine

Is the turbo mounting flange port matched to your hybrid turbos?

no stock is approx 34.5mm
the extrude manifolds are slightly larger due to the extrude process. Most manifolds measured were 35.5-36mm
Our hybrid turbos do not have any porting done to the turbine

I know these are sold out, but I wanted to give a quick shout out to Ron and his product. I was able to get one of the custom-made SS ported manifolds a few years ago and I installed it on my car. My dyno numbers have always been around 10 hp more than most cars with my same set up and I attribute that in part to the manifold. This product is probably just as good or better and should produce a nice improvement.

I installed mine last weekend and it sounds great. I should have some logs shortly I can at least post virtual dyno difference since I'll have before and after for what it's worth.

But I already can tell you it's worth the money, Ron did an excellent job with these.
