Turbo Manifold
Created on 2008-09-10 22:23:10
I decided on a log type manifold- not fancy, and not really meant for high HP numbers at high rpms, but definitely OK for what I am doing. If this becomes an issue later, I can have a tuned, equal length manifold built; but that will run close to $1k. I purchased this on line and it was all welded up except for the turbo flange. I needed to position the turbo, cut the hole and weld the flange on. It's tacked together at this point, until I make sure all the parts around the turbo have clearance. I already cut the firewall for the downpipe, and may have to bump the inner fender a bit more. And of course the steering linkage is still a question (for another day).
