check out my ETD shorty tubular mani

Yes I'm quite pleased.
I will port the part where the runners enter the T25 flange, the gases see a step. Shouldn't be too hard.
But first, I have to get my BMW running. The guy who will mod the BEGI downpipe to mate with the new turbo location will take 3 days. If I don't have a 2nd car, I can't visit him to check on his progress. Gotta send the BMW head out for porting and a valve job.

yeah I dont know that you need relief cuts (or that I did heh!)
The pipes aren't a single piece like a cast manifold so there is room for expansion and bending.
The thing I had an issue with on my ETD was flange flatness. You may want to have both flanges skimmed to get them flat again.
I admit I'm a little jealous. I bet yours flows as good or better than mine and weighs about half as much.

I called em and they said they had way more cracking with cut manifolds than those without. They also said they heat cycle 'em and re-skim 'em flat.
Don't be jealous. My turbo is like Peewee Herman to your John Holmes special.
I'll be porting the turbo side flange a bit, the gases see a step going from the tubes to the flange.
kotomile the idea is to NOT FKN have the gases turn sharp corners like almost every other cast mani out there.

I've received a couple of PM's but nothing from Jason. Yep, still around. The ETD looks interesting and I'm curious about the benefits from a design standpoint. But if I ever upgrade I'm probably going to lean towards an "Absurdflow" mani from TurboTim. That boy can weld!! Just take a look at Paul's setup.
