Not yet. I'm going to put my car on the dyno in a month or two, but my numbers won't mean a lot because my setup is so abnormal.

ok thanks a lot, and I completely understand needing to catch up and focus on the manifolds before trying to do any coating or anything lol
It will mean something if you are able to do a before and after.

I can't do a before and after because I have to build a manifold specifically for my turbo. It will be identical to my standard manifolds except for the flange. I'm running variable vane and there's no reasonably simple way to bolt the turbo to a stock manifold.

Update:
Manifolds for Daniel Howard and Jonathan Brewer are boxed and will hopefully ship tomorrow. I am finishing up some work for the National Science Foundation this week and I can't promise I'll be able to get to the post office tomorrow. I took a lot of pics - more to come.

is this the average quality of the welding on your manifolds?
