How much of an increase? Because just having to locate, cut, and then bringing it to a welder to weld the flange is a lot easier than having a welder do everything, and having to come back after you've figured out the placement.

Subscribing to see what becomes of this. An inexpensive manifold kit? Or partially completed kit? I think you guys are really on to something hot. Ready for pics of assembled design for the 1.8!

The flanges are cnc mild steel.
As of right now prices are looking to be in the $270-$280 price range give or take.
This includes:
-CNC 3D head flange. (Tapers to a circle, and machined cutbacks on gasket side.)
-T2 or T3 turbo flange.
-Tig Welded polished stainless steel sch .10 log manifold. (ALL manifolds are back purged.)
The DIY kits will still be available for purchase.

I'm am The Lord, behold the greatness of my kingdom.
Its the truth though. I was a cheap bastard for a long time, now I am happy to pay extreme for an extreme quality of craftsmanship. I'm honored to have such great parts on my car. I'll always be the first to say "its the car, not the driver". I'm very fortunate enough to have saved my pennies and had the opportunity to procure what I have. I especially grateful now that I don't have any money left, with such a reliable car.
