Runners welded on. Need to finish the plenum floor and then form the plenum halfs over the wood form that I have started.
The wood form needs a lot of shaping in the throttle area.

Here is another vband collector for a 1.6L hot side setup.

Havent updated this since I started the manifold for that collector above.
Here is a few pictures of the process. The old hot side parts were just dropped off to make the downpipe, so its game time.
Manifold is done besides the wastegate, which i will place after the downpipe is done.
