    TU Cast Iron Hybrid Headers Now Accepting Pre-Orders

    We asked ourselves what the Turbo-Dodge community was missing in a performance exhaust header. TU then went to the drawing board to design and ultimately produce our own unique version that gives this niche` market the extra advantages they’ve been waiting for.

    Our primary objectives were to:
    1) Reduce turbo removal and replacement time to under an hour WITHOUT having to pull the cylinder head. Not only does this save time, but, the cost of a new head gasket as well.
    2) Allow the use of the stock style turbo as well as any TU TrannyBuster T3/T4 Hybrid & GT Dual Ball Bearing turbocharger without costly customization or fabrication.
    3) Enhance turbo efficiency by eliminating the need for 90-degree elbows when using larger T04E, T04B, etc compressor housings.
    4) Maintain compatibility with all 8-valve Turbo Dodge vehicles*
    5) Maintain compatibility with other TU performance products (ie. 3" Swingvalve, 3" Downpipe, etc.).
    6) Decrease spool time by incorporating step header design.
    7) Offer a more affordable header option for the budget minded enthusiast.

    The TU Cast Iron header kit includes all the necessary components and extensions (not shown) to keep installation simple and hassle free. Our Cast Iron Headers contain a high content of NI and SI providing superior strength in comparison to other aftermarket manifolds. They are reliable enough for every day use and rugged enough for extreme duty applications. We offer our Thermal Coating upgrade to decrease under hood temperatures and to keep that header looking brand new all the time. Our step header design enhances exhaust flow by slowly increasing the log size from the number 1 to number 4 cylinders. An external wastegate actuator option is already incorporated into the header for those serious racers not using the standard swingvalve set up. Available with Chrysler turbine housing flange only. Please be aware that these headers are NEW castings and not used products. Be sure to contact us prior to ordering so we can be sure to meet your expectations with delivery time. *Fits all cable shifted vehicles only.

    We are currently accepting Pre-Orders for these headers. The discount price of $375. will be available for the first 20 orders only. The first 4 orders will receive product by the end of November. We expect the remaining headers to be completed by the first of the year.

    The first run of these headers is a test run. We may or may not decide to continue them based on the demand.

    Thanks for your support!

    Re: TU Cast Iron Hybrid Headers Now Accepting Pre-Orders

    I saw the model at a SoCal meet, pretty much decided right there that the Omni would have one, so $$ sent! It sets the turbo over to the driver's side enough to let the hybrid turbo not have to have a 90 or other mods to fit. That right there was worth the price of admission, plus the inner mold looks like it should flow well and maintain velocity. Unfortunately It'll be some time before I can give a 1st hand account of what it does, as the Omni will be awhile before it's ready for it. Besides, the Spirit just lost oil pressure, so I've got other issues right now!

    I'd be numbers 3 and 4 on the list if it had a T3 flange... But the 3" Lbody exhaust stuff is back so I'm happy!

    Dang, I wish I was online when those 4 spots opened up, I really need one!

    Oh well, I'll order one and wait until January

    Looks nice, Chris, and it's nice to see you're going above and beyond to make us a great quality aftermarket.

    Re: TU Cast Iron Hybrid Headers Now Accepting Pre-Orders

    Chris,

    Would this just be a plug and play for my car or will I have to modify some things? Would I be able to swap turbos on my L body without removing the head if i upgrade to this?

    What does it flow compared to the TU hybrid header? I would assume better because it doesn't use T's, and it is stepped?

    Re: TU Cast Iron Hybrid Headers Now Accepting Pre-Orders

    I have no clue myself, but I heard it was supposed to be pretty good. I'm sure Chris wouldn't invest the time and $ into something of this magnitude if it was subpar...or par.

    Hmm, I know a guy In SoCal that did HOURS of flowbenching/runner adjustments on these things to get the max flow AND balance just right. I'm sure he is sworn to secrecy though

    From what I remember Chris telling me, his stainless header flows about 400 cfm and this beast flows about 485 cfm!

    Re: TU Cast Iron Hybrid Headers Now Accepting Pre-Orders

    Sounds great. (but a more accurate test is individual runners tested on the head which I believe they did as well)
