That manifold looks crazy, great work. That looks like one of those 1000 piece 3D puzzles. I'm almost glad I don't have access to a welder, or any skill after looking at that. Again, props for your patience and dedication to the project, I can't wait to see it pushing 4 digit numbers. :bigthumb:

Steve that alien monster of yours looks great man, way to go !!! I'm glad you're done with the manifold, that has been very time consuming indeed. Time to move on, right?
Quick question, I have been through the whole thread in the last hour trying to find any pictures of your i/c lower supports but I didn't find anything. Could you get a couple of pictures showing what you done with them? Being such a big, heavy mutha I'm curious in how you provided enough support for it, plus looking for ideas for the lower mounts of mine.

P.S. not that quick a question after all :D

Steve, I think you should run a pre-turbo vaccum gauge, as that filter looks WAY too small to push 1K. I can see the 42 just sucking it inside out and churning it into engine food. The header looks Fab Youl Ass indeed. I'm in a bit of Awe at the moment.
Carry on. ;)

So GPA - from the pics, the manifold looks like all equal length pipes. Was that the idea or was it do get the turbo into a position that would fix in your engine bay?

EDIT: Just read back a few posts and realised I'd missed some of the discussion about the equal length goal. Sorry 'bout that!

So I take it you were going for equal lenght AND the bends are to allow the turbo to fit!
