Just looks like it got a little hot. Theres probably a thin layer of crud on top of the weld. After he takes a wire brush to the welds, it will look much nicer. Also notice he weaved the collector instead of a stringer bead.
... still interested in them collector pen shots

I was going to make fun of that manifold and question your sexual orientation...but I have pitty for what you've done to those turbo parts and can't bring myself to do it.
Good luck.

Haha, I being no expert in manifold building am very happy with what I have so far, I will run it hard, if it brakes Ill build a better one ( I dont think it will once im done with it), all the while knowing that the turbo, waste gate, tubing and flanges for this whole set up including my flex pipe, exhuast tubing, muffler and down pipe matirials cost me less than $200 even with the welding materials and all of it other than the turbo are brand new. I even made the flanges with some scraps from the metal shop next door and a plasma.

So its been awhile but I wanted to give yall an up date. Its finished and running, I took it out for a spin and if feels like its going to be a lot of fun, It turned my Hoosier's into smoke in 3rd like they where nothing. Now I just need to tune and fix my tach, I installed cops during the build and need to add a resistor I guess. anyways thanks to everyone (except hustler) for the input and help.
