HI PSI Member 1,589 Member For: 18y 11m 20d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 12/06/14 03:11 AM Share Posted 12/06/14 03:11 AM (edited) I would like to purchase a alloy header tank for my car. With so many on the market, all ranging in price, I cannot decide on what to buy. Are the more expensive ones better, or are cheaper one just as good?

PWR is the next most expensive I think and then there's all the eBay specials which are pretty shoddy looking. That being said I've never heard of one failing...fairly simple bit of kit.I think VPW have a special this month on header tanks $79 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88495-which-header-tank-to-buy/#findComment-1477950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain mine was meant for b series. You just run a breather hose off the top outlet, your overflow hose from one of the 2 middles, and block off the other middle.Mounting is the same.
