Would There Be Any Interest In This Manifold?

I'm all about reliability baby, If it won't last for 50k miles, I don't want it on my car.



I really like your originall setup, because of the where the wastegate plumbs in and the fact that it is equal runners, I just got a hybrid or I'd be sending you cash now. Once I get an extra couple dollars I might get one and put it back for a rainy day. (or a full to4b swap)

Right on!





I am thinking about putting a splitter plate in the "collector" area. So that it is a divided equal length manifold. If I do that I will have to run 2 wastegate runners. They will connect into one flange.





However if you don't want it to be split, that's fine too. I can make them however.







Also, I am thinking about giving a lifetime warrantee against cracking. If someone manages to crack one of these, I will repair it for free. Unless it is obviously abuse. Like jumping the car into a frozen lake or something.

Finally got ahold of the car. I unbolted the stock manifold and turbo last night, and bolted the 60-1, and my manifold up.





Here are some pics. I think that if I make any more of these I am going to make the wastegate exit the rear.

There is actually room to make a dump tube that will clear the rack and cross member.
