Custom turbo manifold interest?

sorry... I have been meaning to update, but always get side tracked.

Im going to be making a batch of ten, and setting up all the things on here to be able to sell them (as long as you guys like the work that is). All ten turbo flanges are complete. i have all my tubing and its in a mock up stage. But the material i ordered for the header flange was on back order. I should have the material by this weekend.

I'll update more often this time ;)
 
Did you ever decide whether you're going to do a stock replacement, or a mani/DP combo that relocates the turbo a bit?
 
finally got the material in for the header flange!!!

Also recieved the material for the runners. I'll be doing a mock up set-up this week. Now the ball is rolling!

A manifold downpipe combo that relocates the turbo a little. After looking at the set-up very closely, I believe this will be a much more beneficial design in the end.
 
That's alot of raw material. Looking forward to seeing the first mock up.
 
looks interesting, are you planning to build a minifold for the stock turbo or did I just not read far enough?

Sad panda...

Well, I'll keep checking this thread in case a stock replacment mani ends up in the mix somehow!
 
yea i think a cheap direct OEM replacement would be awesome, cast instead of tubular would keep costs down....
 
all you OEM replacement guys, where were you before? no one said they wanted OEM replacement when he first asked about it...

pretty sure cast would cost more, alot more involved in making something cast. Need to get a design, then draft it on a computer, then send it to a machine shop for them to make a mold and then they can get produced.

but in all reality.... the turbo is in a since twisting a lil bit, not getting relocated like the MAM and OBX mani.

The only minor tweaking if any will be with the coolant and oil lines that go to the turbo.
 
Dude this is going to be a real nice set-up!!!
I'm in the market as we speak for an exhaust mani and was about to order up a Thunder. But I might just wait a bit longer and see what comes up here.
Just out of curiousity,
Maybe Fatti can say how much a set-up like this could cost.
I know if Sen2two mentions money he can get in trouble. Or just PM me!!
