Good stuff…who did it?

Any dyno #'s???

looks great!

now just change that screen out for an Apexi filter so you can get more flow through the inlet.

we made it all in-house at our shop here in Louisville, KY

“What kind of turbo is it?”

…“Isssss a sledgehammer!”

“U ever take it off any sweet jumps?” :rockon:

well with that aside…must say …very sick setup i love it and wish i could afford a turbo package. :dance:Would love to hear that bish spool :dance:

Great job, Looks awsome too. But i have one question… What is the turbo and manifold braced to? I only ask this besause the turbo is very heavy and if the manifold is the only thing carrying the weight then i can garantee you will have stress cracking and the turbo could fall off. I am not here to tell you what to do at all i am only giving you my experience on custom manifolds haveing built a few myself…

system · February 9, 2005, 7:46am

i have seen those screens eat a few turbos…not a good idea imo…but thats a sick setup

system · February 10, 2005, 12:42am

i will get a filter asap

hey h22, are you implying its a good idea to brace any tubular manifold or just a topmount style manifold? i see people all day make tubular manifolds with no bracing and hold up forever. we have made countless manifolds and had really good results

system · February 10, 2005, 5:38am

I am just saying it would take alot of stress off the manifold if you had a sturdy brace to alieviate the weight. I know that yo ucan get away without it especially depending on the thickness of the steel or stainless you use in the first place. It is just a suggestion… great work by al means…

XDEep · February 10, 2005, 8:55am

wow i think you started with much “lesser” quality parts before eh? green with envy now.

all tubular manifolds can gain from a brace. its always a good idea and can only help. should definitely be on everyone’s to-do list.

system · February 10, 2005, 5:52pm

That manifold is awsome! but it seems like the turbo has no support. When that manifold gets hot, would the mani support all the weight from the turbo?
