Turbo manifold pretty much complete, just got to weld it up. After all the bottom mounts ive seen i went with this design.
14 hours
4 cutoff disks
1 grinding wheel later.
DISCOOOO POTATOE!!!

Ceramic coat that ish!
that mani would throw lots of heat i would assume with all of that surface area.
but it does look like quality, and im sure your finish welding will be solid.

Ahh, the tried and true absurdflow design. Good choice. Sits nice and high which will make a lot of things a lot easier than they are for me with my extremely low mount design. Compressor ourlet and oil drain are kinda hairy for me but its going to work for now I think.
Just wait til you make your downpipe...soooooo easy with a bottom mount.
Cant wait to see it finished!

Have you considered those small diamond pieces to weld over the seams? Tim used them on the vband manifolds for increased strength*

As simple as it looks its a real pain in the *** to make. I don't know if ill produce them. Id rather do a log manifold. I would say 500 just for the manifold. The log manifold will be 325. Downpipe is extra.
This is my first manifold I've made. And it was a pain in the asssssss.

$500 is good for a stainless manifold. That's what I charge for my mild steel version ($540 for all stainless).
Is that a mild steel head flange? Sch. 40 pipes?
