1) I'd like to see it functioning with a full setup on a car, and proven to not suck. So far that's not been done (we had this same EXACT discussion a few months back about this same mani)
2) looks like it would make oil drain a pita, as well as possibly interfere with frame rail, requiring possible Faeflora mounting.
3) for that kinda cash, Tim and Abe can make you pretty much ANY style manifold, and they both have some seriously sick manifolds they've made before that are proven to fit right, work good, and are both evil geniuses when it comes to miata hotside parts.
So yeah.....meh

i too would like to see this thing in action. i dont wanna be the test mule but this manifold just looks really visually appealing. i could probably make an exhaust for it pretty easily and it seems like they are selling most of their manifolds for the same price. they put it up for 795 or best offer and they seem to be selling b series manifolds for just over 500.

lolol ok sorry to waste everyone's time on yet another stupid ebay turbo manifold thread, i know u guys here really appreciate these kinds of threads but this one just looked different from the typical taco taco manifolds that im used to seeing, and these guys sell some manifolds for really cool cars so i was just thinking it might be a halfway decent piece of hardware. i mean they have a s2k manifold for 1200 bucks called the "annihilator ".

the seller wrote back and said that its constructed form sc40 piping. and they offer a 2 year warranty against cracking if its "professionally installed" whatever that means.

I'll take an ugly, proven setup over a mystery baller setup any day.
The P/S would have to go (some people prefer to keep it) and it looks like your wastegate will be trying to make out with the a/c compressor lines.
Not to mention you'll have to snake your dump pipe around the lower coolant hose. I can smell the burning lines already
Small details? Yes. But for that price? No. For that price you're better off having the forum fabricators build you whatever you want with your own specifications and needs in mind, and knowing it will be quality.
800 is too much bread for me to spend on mystery meatloaf.
