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.

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!

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?
