Damn....almost an excuse to go to Louisville.
I like your town. Good beer everywhere and that great little district with the pubs, coffee shops, record and music stores. Can't remember what the area is called.
We visited and went to Ray's Monkey House. Nimbus was a really nice dude. Fed us some free beer and hung out to chat until after 2 AM. We helped him clean up.

Ha! Nice, I should use this under the "testimonial" section of my website, if I had a good pic of your car too. nice update to the signature too 
I'm glad you like the mani, I sure did when I used it for that week. Once I sell the twins I'm going to rock that manifold again
EDIT: Did you notice any spool difference with my manifold, or "seat of the pants" difference in power at the same boost setting?

As with any forum, if there's a particular topic you want us to chime in please let us know. We can't monitor the entire internet.
Want pictures of the current FM manifold? We have a few here, so I shot some pictures for you. They're not significantly different than the old SolidWorks models, although there have been numerous detail changes and the change to a Utah-based foundry made a big difference in quality.
This is just a normal manifold pulled off the shelf. It's going in the next turbo kit to head out.

Keith, thanks for the pictures. It looks exactly like the one sitting right next to me that I just took the turbo off of. It is hard to see, but the 1 and 4 runners do go perpendicular to the turbo flange
Memorial day weekend, probably thursday till whenever we are done. Still need to decide if I want to use my coworker's garage or do it here and have full access to my tools. No power hookup for a drill here though...

I do, but it is already at my new apartment in Indy. Talk to Mike (Webhitch), or post on 502 - I'm sure someone local has one you could borrow. I do have the tap and bits you need for the oil pan (I have both 3/8" and 1/2" NPT taps), though.
