I wont be making any more of these after this one is done with, im not interested in making profit from anything as much as I am looking to learn new things. There is no way to guarantee number figures for myself let alone anyone else, I cant speculate as to what will happen until I actually drive the car.

Just to update everyone, there are a few smoothing tasks that I have been taking care of to flow air into the runners. We didnt end up raising the ports and adding velocity stacks but a lot of time has been taken to add nice smooth round welds to the inside of the manifold so there are no sharp corners.
This will be done by the end of the month since there is a lot going on and I am back to work now.
I promise there will be more pics to follow, just be as patient as I have been.

Manifold is finished and assembled, will snap some pics tonight for everyone to see. Turned out ok IMO but there are still some finer points that I would like to improve on and I still need to thread in all my brass vac/boost fittings.
tonight I am making two brackets for the throttle cable to mount on the rear of the manifold, wire tucking is still happening but very close to being complete. Having some issues fitting the IC behind the bumper without silly amounts of modification in its current position.

wow, very nice clean install. I like!
Might have to steal some of your ideas.....
where'd you get the fittings for water for the turbo? Any how did you get it without cutting the hose? just wiggle a piece of threaded pipe in, drill a hole for the fitting, and clamp around it for water tight seal?
